Re: Return type declaration and &return.falseforfailure;

DocBook 5.2 now supports multiple types, so, really, the form SHOULD/COULD be <type>int</type><type>bool</type> In my opinion, <type>mixed</type> is lazy. We now have scalar type hinting (though not union type hints which is a shame as that matches the language itself quite a lot). If the documentation can be accurate, then it should be.
