Using classes/interfaces rather than associative arrays is superior in
'enterprise' projects, but sometimes I just want to quickly return
tuple or construct json response.

We recently got #[ArrayShape]. Maybe associative arrays will get more
love from static analyzers and will be suitable for 'tuple returns'.
