I actually have a question, that Ferenc touched on, but it never got any discussion. How, actually, the declare will work with concatenated PHP files? It's quite a common practice to put the files into packages, that require minimal amounts of includes for performance reasons. Declare is required to be a the top of a file as a first statement. So, if I have like 10 packages from composer written in different styles, how should I actually combine them? Stripping the declare from each file and putting a single declare with the type hint level I want? What will happen if a library is written for weak type hints ends up in strict type hint mode? Or the other way around? Isn't it gonna be a mess? Thanks, Arvids.
