That would also mean that any pre-PHP7 code that defined return types via docblock are basically unusable. The fact that PHP's type system doesn't enforce it doesn't mean that we should blindly allow everything everywhere, as that removes any sort of guarantees on contracts, making it impossible to reason about what the code will do. But if you think it'll be necessary I'll require 2/3 of the votes. > It's a core change anyway, no? Marco Pivetta http://twitter.com/Ocramius http://ocramius.github.com/
