Hi! > Would it be worth while adding a new type hint that checks for this > condition? I'd propose Iterable: I see more and more multiplication of weird ad-hoc type checks. First we had "callable", now "traversable", then we invent more and more weird functional types with complex logic. I don't like this development at all. It's ad-hoc introducing of half-baked, unstandartized, undesigned strict typing. Strict typing is not a good idea for PHP, and weird strict typing based on complex conditions hidden from the user is even worse IMO. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
