It'd be handy if one could do 

function foo()
{
     ...
     $x = bar( func_get_arg( 0 ) ) ;
     ...
}

agreed, maybe even (as a special case in function calls)
some constant containing the desired argument from function1
eg. __arg0, __arg1
but I guess this would be a performance loss

anyway using func_get_arg? in function calls makes sense
sometimes

no need for constants - func_get_arg() / func_get_args() does that.

I thought of something like INTERNAL_PARAM_PASSTHROUGH,
otherwise you would have to do

bar(fung_get_arg(0),func_get_arg(1),func_get_arg(2)...)

or

bar(func_get_args())
and then in bar work with an array of args

the syntax in the original request works just fine.
