Hello Internals,
Local based variable declaration before usage is available in most
languages like javascript, python, and many more. php has this, but it's
only available while working/dealing with oop related.
Somewhat ironically, one could say that typed scalar variables are
already supported,
albeit with a somewhat cumbersome syntax.
Instead of
```php
int $intVar;
```
you write
```php
class TypedInt {
public static int $intVar = 0;
}
$intVar = &TypedInt::$intVar;
echo $intVar; // 0
$intVar = 3;
echo $intVar; // 3
$intVar = 'x'; // Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError
```
