Hey there, I’ve actually been working on an implementation covering also typed references, so that it’s possible to create references to a typed property, which had been a major concern back then.
See also: https://github.com/bwoebi/php-src/compare/typed_properties...bwoebi:typed_ref_properties I’m planning to revive the RFC soon.
