I agree with Stas also.
We may have both for compatibility and consistency. Hack may adopt later if
they want.
e.g.
Both
class Bar { public Foo $var; function( Foo $var); }
and
class Bar { public $var : Foo; function($var : Foo); }
may be accepted under PHP. Not many people care about a little compile time
overhead today.
