Re: [RFC][Vote] Typed Properties

and unset simply because the property is not explicitly assigned null by unset, it is being undefined.

Because null !== undefined. That's why you get an error after an unset($this->var), and you don't get one after $this->var = null; . "$var = null;" and "unset($var)" are totally different, it has been like that for years. If you want to change this behavior, propose an RFC, and make it approve. But meanwhile, you'll have to keep this in mind : "null" is a value. While "unset" does not affect a value, it deletes the variable, it deletes any references of the variable it targets, the variable doesn't exist anymore. With unset, the variable is dead. With null, it has amnesia. I can't find any better analogy.
