Unknown named parameter $sessionhandler

[JayQ1982]

Description

The following code:
https://3v4l.org/p72ZV

<?php
session_set_save_handler(
	sessionhandler: new SessionHandler(),
	register_shutdown: true
);

Resulted in this output:

Unknown named parameter $sessionhandler

But I expected this output instead:
Not getting an error when using named parameters with session_set_save_handler().

Named parameters are not supported for alternative prototypes. This is mentioned on various documentation pages, we may add it here too.

Feels like this limitation is not documented, at least not in the Named Parameters documentation. As such, this feels like a general documentation issue and not one specific to session_set_save_handler().

Most functions only have a single signature, for those that have multiple we usually stipulate which one cannot be used with named arguments.
