Just a random thought I have from reading over that:
Would it not be more 'natural' to change 'function' to indicate a
method with a variant return type, and allow e.g.
'int somefunc()' instead of 'function (int) somefunc()' to indicate an
int return?
It would be a bit more in fitting with traditional languages, and
definitely less typing.. it may require some parser modification,
though..?
(I'd also like to throw my +1 in for scalar type hints, and optional
type coercion for return values - this is something I have run into
annoyances with and blogged about in the past)
Thanks,
Robin Burchell
