Correct. We are under no obligation. But, it would be us playing
friendly neighbor and responsible community citizen if we didn't
re-use syntax in a different way. Remember, Hack isn't some arbitrary
different language, it's one that exists in the PHP ecosystem. We are
under no obligation to play nicely with them, but wouldn't it be nice
if we did anyway?
And part of that playing nice would be not re-using syntax in
different ways (that goes in both directions). Since that only will
make everyone's life more difficult.
