I mentioned this before but maybe it is better to change the RFC to disallow the question mark if an union type is in use: # OK ?string null|string string|null ?SomeClass SomeClass|SomeOtherClass|null null|SomeClass|SomeOtherClass SomeClass|null|SomeOtherClass # BAD ?SomeClass|SomeOtherClass ?SomeOtherClass|SomeClass ?string|int ?int|string This would be a perfectly valid and reasonable restriction that makes sense in every way because it helps to avoid ambiguity. However, disallowing ?T is not. -- Richard "Fleshgrinder" Fussenegger
