I pray this never happens. It makes it difficult to use functions as parameters. There are times where it's logically okay to not return something, and sometimes that same higher-order function can return something. This is one reason I am against void. It doesn't follow the conventions from other languages. I think the type null better conveys PHP's semantics and desired behavior.
