For instance: - the parameter of [a wrapper around] gettype() or an is_* function - the return of [a generic implementation of] ArrayAccess::offsetGet() or Iterator::current(), or of a userland array_value_first() or array_value_last() function To me, especially the return type declaration can be useful to ensure that [every code path of] the implementation returns a value. -- Guilliam Xavier -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
