Sara's after reactions to the principle of having meta-types/unions in general, not their definitions, right now. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]1) Introduce scalar types for primitives: bool, int, float, string, resource, object (we already have array) 1a) Introduce meta-types as pre-defined unions (we can add custom unions in a later rfc). A possible list may be as follows (again, we can argue what's in this list separately): * mixed: any type * scalar: (null|bool|int|float|string)Hold on, usually, type checking functions don't identify NULL as scalar.
