On this point; I still need to finish the RFC for a `literal-string` type, 
which already exists in Psalm and PHPStan. I've been using Joe Watkins' 
is_literal() implementation with 3 big production websites for some time, and 
Robert Landers has a prototype implementation as a proper type[1]. I just 
thought I'd give an example of a separate/small RFC.
