trunk guidelines (was Re: [PHP-DEV] scalar type hinting?)

Maybe I view trunk in a different way than others, but I think committing it turns it into some sort of 'status quo', and now we'd need a good reason to change it. I think major developments should be discussed on internals (IRC's fine, but not enough), and should be discussed before committing to trunk. Zeev At 18:04 22/05/2010, Pierre Joye wrote:

hi Zeev, It seems that there was a bit of discussions on IRC about committing Ilia's implementation. However it is trunk, and trunk is a development tree. That means its purpose is to develop new PHP features. But it does not meant that these features will make it in the next releases or if they will remain as they are now.

Not sure how come a version of it was committed to trunk, so it should definitely not be documented at this time. Zeev At 17:51 22/05/2010, Philip Olson wrote:

The documentation team is about to document a few trunk features, but we're unsure about scalar type hinting. I see no final proposal

(only three

old RFC's) nor recent discussion here. Is the recent scalar type hinting commit meant to bring discussion to the topic? Or, has this form of scalar type hinting been finalized somewhere?
