I am fed up writing node_load(array('nid' => $nid)) all the time.


BTW. if this is accepted, next is node_view to accept a $nid.

I am going to +1 this.


node_load(x) is much more natural to type. Having it use an array if
found is useful too though.

Dries, if I remember correctly, you favoured this approach.

+1
It's not only about lazy developers -which I am ;-)- it's also about
shorter code => less errors, easier to catch

The patch and its consequences makes me love the version at
http://drupal.org/node/25634#comment-33584 more, but Dries will be the
one to decide.

A few things slipped in from another patch which should not be here.

Same problem as above.

I like this! Is there a similar issue for user_load()?

I definitely prefer the version where we simply allow $conditions to be
passed as an integer, rather than introducing additional parameters.


It matches PHP's convention of having "mixed" argument types for some
functions for shorthands (e.g. str_replace allows array arguments to
compact multiple replacements in one statement). And not unimportant:
it does not break backwards compatibility for what it essentially
syntactic sugar.

Steven. Dries did not like that version hence the additional parameter.


Dries, now that even Steven is on my side, would you please reconsider
:) ?
