Description:
------------
Now is possible to use splat operator with associative array when calling functions:

func(...['a' => 1, 'b' => 2])


It would be nice if it worked the same way in arrays:

$a = [  ...['a' => 1, 'b' => 2]  ];

Now it triggers fatal error: Cannot unpack array with string keys

Proposed but not in active discussion.

8.0 is about to release so the earliest this could happen is 8.1.

Actually, going to leave this Open since the RFC is six years old.

8.1 is in feature freeze now, so now the earliest this could happen is 8.2.
