Re: [RFC] Mixed type

Actually, it's not quite possible to declare a mixed type using union types given that it's not possible to make properties as callable (please take a look at my "Typed callable properties" post in the mailing list). As such, if we wanted to make a property hold a callable, we would have to fallback to just not using a type hint at all. Correct me if I'm wrong but this behavior is addressed in the RFC and we can pass callables to properties that are declared as mixed, right?
