The search on php.net does not extend to the mailing list archives. You may find https://externals.io/ or https://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Anet.php.lists.internals more useful for that purpose. https://github.com/Danack/RfcCodex/blob/master/method_overloading.md provides a very high level summary on the topic. There's very little I'm sure about when it comes to the future of PHP, but one of the things I can state with some degree of conviction is that we will never introduce type-based method overloading.
