Explicilty passing default value for escape in SplFileObject::fgetcsv changes outcome

Description

The following code:

<?php

$file = new SplFileObject('php://memory', 'rw+');

$file->fwrite("foo;bar;baz");
$file->seek(0);

$file->setCsvControl(';', "\n");

while (!$file->eof()) {
    $line = $file->fgetcsv(escape: '\\');
    var_dump($line);
}

Resulted in this output:

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  string(11) "foo;bar;baz"
}

But I expected this output instead:

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(3) "foo"
  [1]=>
  string(3) "bar"
  [2]=>
  string(3) "baz"
}

For context, I am currently working on migrating a codebase from 8.2 to 8.4, and thought the safest option to keep existing behavior for fgetcsv calls would be to explicitly provide the current value of the default parameter, considering it will change in the next major version. I understand WHY it was implemented like this, but it is still a weird outcome. Ideally, the paramters for the method fgetcsv should be nullable, and default to null instead, so that the behavior is consistent with the way user land PHP functions and methods with default values for parameters work.

Beginnen Sie am Einstiegspunkt SplFileObject::fgetcsv und reproduzieren Sie das Beispiel mit setCsvControl(';', "\n") unter expliziter Übergabe eines Escape-Werts. Untersuchen Sie, ob nullable Parameter dafür sorgen können, dass ausgelassene und explizit angegebene Standardwerte konsistent sind, und überprüfen Sie anschließend, dass die CSV in die angeforderten drei Felder geparst wird.
