I'm against this. Let's be honest, how different is this that an optionally static type? InterfaceName $x = $container->service; To be clear, I WANT optionally static typing. For the most part, type-hinting in class methods solves the static typing needs, but if we were able to declare a class member to be a certain type that would be another significant improvement. I have a proposal in the works, but I don't want to hijack your thread. To sum up: I think we need something LIKE what you are proposing, but I'm against this particular proposal. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
