question: Would anybody else like to see, or feel the need for, *optional* type hinting of variables and class properties in PHP?
This would all be under the assumption and proviso that an implementation would not break bc, have any markable perfomance hit, or in any other way effect existing applications or new applications that did not use the functionality (in the same way the existing type hinting implementation doesn't)
scrap that seems like it is impossible; only thing that may be remotely possible is scalar type hinting. not worth the debating convo's were fun though; thanks.
