Comment:

 I agree with @dd32 that throwing a warning in this instance is correct.
 The error can only be hit when developers call the function incorrectly.

 I think the fix for this is to improve the documentation for the function
 to note which items are required and which items are optional in the
 `$userdata` docblock.
