I wanted to support:
function preventNULL($val not NULL)
function allowNULL($val)
However, I left it for after 5.0.0 due to the feature freeze. Note, that it will also not change today's semantics.

What's a bit weird is something like function foo(object $obj = NULL, $mandatoryparameter) { ... } where people will wonder why there is a default value even though they can't omit the parameter really. But personally I could live with that. - Chris
