I just wanted to point out that interface default methods will play nicely with the mentioned interfaces: Equatable and Comparable: interface Equatable { public function equals(mixed $other): bool; } interface Comparable extends Equatable { public function compare(mixed $other): int; public function equals(mixed $other): bool { return $this->compare($other) === 0; } } So that it signals a clear intent of: "what is comparable is also equatable, and this is the default implementation for it.
