These are examples!?! I see no reason to limit our thoughts and imagination here. This is a proposal for the future of PHP, for whatever might come. Limiting us seems more than counterproductive to me. Array, Bool, Int, Float, String, ... all of them are valid things to think about. Not only as an intellectual game, but also in the light of _scalar objects_ [1].

This is something Levi just brought up and I want to repudiate myself in the strongest terms from moving anything! -- Richard "Fleshgrinder" Fussenegger
