The system cannot.

My RSS notified me about this interesting #ReverseEngineering tool, but when I opened the repo
- It included a README and a **.zip**
- The URL was written like this: https:\\www.exetools[.]net (surprisingly, it did even work in my browser!)

Absolutely barbaric!

A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to show a friend how to use PHP.

The `foreach` docs showed `foreach ($array as &$value) {}` as the first example and was otherwise out of date with current PHP practices as well. Using `list($a, $b)` over `[$a, $b]`, old array syntax, and so on.

So I learned how the docs work these days and sat down to fix it: https://github.com/php/doc-en/pull/4451/

Big thanks to @Girgias for the great review.

Wasn't hard, you can do it too! :)
