The required field, until now, stored how many required parameters the function, it belongs to, has. I think this is rather problematic because it's a feature of the function to know how many required parameters it has, not of the parameter itself. The parameter should only say if it's required or optional (among other unrelated things). Also storing the function's number of required parameters in every parameter was redundant since the _zend_function structure already has that information. And storing the same value (number of required parameters) across multiple variables is inefficient and could lead to inconsistencies.
