I pray this never happens. It makes it difficult to use functions as parameters. There are times where it's logically okay to not return something, and sometimes that same higher-order function can return something. This is one reason I am against `void`. It doesn't follow the conventions from other languages. I think the type null better conveys PHP's semantics and desired behavior. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
