Hi internals,
I'd like to pick up a loose thread from the future scope of the
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/static_return_type
RFC, the $this return type for
fluent APIs:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/this_return_type
I have some reservations about this (which basically come down to $this not
being a proper "type", so should it be in the type system?) but I can see
the practical usefulness, so I think it's worth discussing this.
Regards,
Nikita
