Those objections do not apply here IMO. IIRC, the main objections were that if we introduce strict hints for scalar values, then we start rejecting stuff that would "just work" via implicit conversions before. i.e. "2" vs 2. In this case, if you don't provide a valid callback to a function expecting a valid callback, there is no way it will "just work". Just like with other type hints, if you write function foo(A $b) and pass B which is not a subtype of A, there is no way foo() will "just work", as there is no way it will be able to interpret the value, an object of type B, as an object of type A. +1 from me, this seems very useful. > > -- > Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect > SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ > (408)454-6900 ext. 227 > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- Etienne Kneuss http://www.colder.ch -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
