Re: Return type hints

Yes it does, and not only for VB developers. I'm plain PHP developer (with some small Pascal and Delphi background) and I faced quite a lot situations when named parameters would give me a lot. In stead had to write some nasty code like myFunc($param1, $param2, array(), null, $paramX); myFunc($param1, array(), $param4, $param5, $paramX); And it wasn't a matter of placing function params in right order - I was just impossible. Actual alternatives were in writing functions wrappers or write specialized functions witch were doing the same taks, just didn't made checks for params. 2008/4/8, Richard Quadling <rquadling@googlemail.com>: > > On 08/04/2008, Arvids Godjuks <arvids.godjuks@gmail.com> wrote: > > I think type hint's would be good optional functionality.
