Now that PHP has support for named parameters, and we can use them in
Moodle, we should ditch `$options` arrays and use first-class,
documented, parameters.
Whilst this may seem scary, dumb, overwhelming, please note that you do
not need to supply all args, for example, to change the last parameter
of `format_text` you no longer need to do this:
return \core\container::get(\core\formatting::class)->format_text(
$text,
FORMAT_MOODLE,
$context,
false,
null,
true,
true,
true,
false,
false,
true,
);
Instead you can do:
return \core\container::get(\core\formatting::class)->format_text(
$text,
FORMAT_MOODLE,
$context,
allowid: true,
);
Or better still:
return \core\container::get(\core\formatting::class)->format_text(
text: $text,
format: FORMAT_MOODLE,
context: $context,
allowid: true,
);
This means that we can get defaults in the function signature, improves
our typing, and allows for deprecation and changes to options. It also
sets us up for success in the future.
