Imho they are totally different things. One is a core root feature (scalar "hinting"). Then we have annotations, which can be used(and is very often used for contracts) by DbC. However starting to stop one in favor of another is a strategic mistake. I left alone the DbC or annotations as phpdoc as we have discussed that to death already :) Cheers, Pierre
