Are you guys serious about a compile error if I override a method with different parameters? This must be the mailing list of a different language than PHP...
If you override an interface with a different number of parameters or with incorrectly typed parameters, yes.

I agree there but 1. was saying _everything_, that included more than just interfaces and abstract classes. That's why I'm asking if you're serious. Let's recap: a) People agree to be strict for *interfaces* and *abstract classes*. b) There was a proposal to also give a compile error for normal methods. I'm not sure if people who gave a +1 here really meant it. - Chris
