I am worried about this big casting conversion matrix. New rules should not be invented, and the following should *always* be equivalent: function foo(typehint $var) vs: function foo($var) { $var = typehint $var; In general, I am not in favour of casting typehints, as it would be a different behaviour from the hard-check typehints that we already have for classes and arrays. regards, Derick -- http://derickrethans.nl | http://xdebug.org Like Xdebug?
