Description

Tests/BackfillNumericSeparatorTest::dataTestBackfill(): simplify data sets

The data for each set was previously passed as an array instead of as values, even though the number of array items was known and stable.

Fixed now.

Tests/BackfillNumericSeparatorTest: use named data sets

With non-named data sets, when a test fails, PHPUnit will display the number of the test which failed.

With tests which have a lot of data sets, this makes it interesting (and time-consuming) to debug those, as one now has to figure out which of the data sets in the data provider corresponds to that number.

Using named data sets makes debugging failing tests more straight forward as PHPUnit will display the data set name instead of the number.
Using named data sets also documents what exactly each data set is testing.

Aside from adding the data set name, this commit also adds the parameter name for each item in the data set, this time in an effort to make it more straight forward to update and add tests as it will be more obvious what each key in the data set signifies.

Includes making the data type in the docblock more specific.
