Is it intentional that the \ in front of the "int" is allowed? IMHO,
this
confusing notation must not be allowed.
This is weird and I'd consider it a bug. You can't do \array or
\callable, and if I saw \int, I'd think it meant a class of that name
rather than a scalar type.
I would assume \int means class named "int", as opposed to "int" type.
That's also what I'd expect. However, "int" is not allowed as a class
name in PHP 7. And unfortunately what the code Sebastian posted sctually
does is act as an integer type hint, not as a class type hint.
Can this be fixed for 7.0.0?
I don't think this would be a good idea. We're in the final stretch of
release cycle, and should not do any non-urgent fixes. This does not
look urgent. It can wait for 7.0.1.
It can't wait for 7.0.1, because banning this would be a
backwards-compatibility break with 7.0.0. We have to fix it in 7.0.0 or
not fix it ever.
Thanks.
