The 3rd voting widget appears to still be closed.

I fixed the vote here; looks like it was just an unclosed quote.

Voting should be over. The main vote for the RFC passed. The subvotes
for default value indicate it should be set to "0" in the INI & tests.

The votes:

Add a error_include_args INI setting as described (2/3 majority wins):
24 yea, 2 nay, 1 abs

Default value for error_include_args (>50% wins):
7 for "1", 18 for "0", 1 abs

If error_include_args defaults to 1, default value in run-tests.php (>50% wins):
1 for "1", 7 for "0", 7 abs
(this one not relevant as the preceding one didn't succeed)

I will mark this RFC as accepted; the PR should be ready for review.
