Hi, I would love this feature.
But I have some concerns.
AFAIK you can declare classes with the name int ,scalar, etc. so
hinting anything else than class names can be ambiguous.
Or we have to set these keywords as reserved, so nobody could declare
classes with such names.
But in this case, this would be a big BC problem, especially, because
I think that there is many project out there which uses type
names(int, object, etc.) as classname.
Try to search "class Object{" or "class Object extends" on google codesearch.
Maybe this was resolved with the last scalar type hinting patch, which
got merged to the trunk, I don't know.
ps: the spam filter rejected my previous email because of the
codesearch links...
