Since writing the original message I've been looking at golang and found that they have a := operation to infer type which is very similar to what I proposed. I'd like to try and start some discussion about this again as I think it would be very useful and really open up the possibility of having objects for primitive types.
I'm not sure I understand the utility here. PHP has a dynamic typing system. The utility of := in languages like Go is that it allows you to avoid making a type declaration. But PHP does not have them anyway, so there it isn't useful in that case. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
