It does not have access to the C level source, where the arguments might not even have names.

hi,

wouldn't it be nice to get more information if you call a function with the wrong arguments?

Compiler Error: 1:Expected: function(string, string, string | void, mapping | void : mixed)

eg. would it be possible that the above error line also includes the names of the variables? the compiler has access to the source, so it could just print the whole function declaration.

for added bonus, it could even print any comments that appear right before the function or inside at the beginning of the block?

greetings, martin.
