Can someone explain the different views of time? If someone were to time travel and make the mistake of doing a google search like that, then after they are caught, couldn't they go back and tell themselves not to do the search?

This algoritm pragmatically computes how far left/right a senater's polical views are by placing them in the corresponding place on the page

Thanks for the ignoreCase problem, I fixed it. I actually was using a \b in the link but forgot to update the source accordingly. The reason I use \s\s* over \s+ is because I once saw that it has some performance benefits, although it really doesn't make a difference

> Variadic functions

Doesn't PHP have that already? http://us2.php.net/func_get_args

Edit - Checking out that parent link it seems: Currently variadic functions are implemented by fetching the function arguments using func_get_args(). The following code sample shows an implementation of a variadic function used to prepare and execute a MySQL query (I'll be making use of this example throughout the RFC):

Firstly, by just looking at the function signature public function query($query) you cannot know that this is actually a variadic function. You'd think that the function can only run a normal query and doesn't support bound parameters:

  public function query($query, ...$params) { /*...
  $userData = $db->query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', $userID)->fetch();
