Re: [VOTE][RFC] Array Of

FYI, I changed my vote from +1 to -1. I like the idea (the +1 part), but I don't think it's the right way to fix it (the -1 part). Generics would solve this in a nicer way without being impacted by an O(n) problem of type checking. I'd second a Collection support with array_* integration which would make everything much nicer too.
