Re: Scalar type hinting

Anthony, Remember you're dealing with the internals list. :) I kind of like the idea of having long proper discussions on a particular topic. But let's face it, that's an utopic view (at best)! Even if optional, and even if backwards compatible, there are a number of things that will be quite hard to change, ranging from "it's very difficult/impossible to implement properly", to "this isn't the PHP way"... Just check out the discussions regarding function naming and/or parameter order and you'll understand, some things will remain; but remember the golden rule: <?php echo 'PHP ' . (PHP_MAJOR_VERSION + 1) . ' will fix it!'; ?> Cheers, ~ Daniel
