Yes: 32No: 0

An RFC that proposes to improve the current MySQLi's mysqli_stmt::execute() method to work similar to the PDO's PDOStatement::execute().

The improved mysqli_stmt::execute() will accept an array of parameters that will be bound to the query, and will be more cleaner compared to the current workflow of calling mysqli_stmt::bind_param that requires parameters to be passed by reference.
