Hi,

I propose to introduce a unified type representation (zend_type).

Now it's going to be used for typing of arguments and return values.

Later we should use it for properties and other things.

The main changes are in zend_types.h and zend_compile.h, the rest is just an 
adoption for new type representation.

I don't think we need RFC, because this is just an internal change that doesn't 
change behavior.


I got the idea working on typed properties together with Bob and Joe.

I think it would be better to introduce zend_type and then continue work on 
typed properties.


Any comments?


Thanks. Dmitry.
