Hi Marcus.
Thanks for replying. Yes, I understand that very well, having been involved
in open source projects, myself, as well [1]. If I felt really strongly for
this one, I could do it, myself. :) I was mostly just interested in knowing
if this one was still a "go". In our systems, we've prepared for it, thus:
function f(Something $value) /** @return SomethingElse */
{
// ...
}
By the way, I appreciate all the work that you and the other developers are
doing for PHP.
Regards,
Terje
[1] I've been involved in Loki (http://sourceforge.net/projects/loki-lib),
co-authoring the port of the library to Borland C++ (which was non-trivial,
given that Loki uses cutting-edge C++), as well as having been project
admin. Another project I'm involved in is the C++ "Concept Traits Library"
(http://www.neoscientists.org/~tschwinger/boostdev/concept_traits/libs/conce
pt_traits/doc/), which is a library to implement "concepts" (like Haskell's
"type classes") in C++. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to do anything
with either of these for a long time, due to work, so I full well understand
that people may be busy with other things. :)
