Please don't add another parameter syntax (especially with
line-noi... err special characters) like [BaseClass]. This would make
PHP more unreadable than it needs to be for a minor feature. To allow
foo(BaseClass $objA = null) to also accept foo(null); handles the few
cases where you want to pass null nicely IMHO.
Advocating to only change the PHP syntax to simplify it,
Yeah I tend to agree. Adding [] for a not that popular case seems not
to be worth it. It just adds more complexity to the syntax.
I suggest to either leave as is or to support default values of NULL
(only) and if that is given then you may also pass NULL (give it a
double meaning).
