Namespace-scoped declares are perfectly suited to resolve this problem. We
can introduce a require_explicit_send_by_ref declare directive to make the

it using namespace_declare().
Seems solid to me, I would definitely make use of this feature, as I
found adding the declare to each file felt untidy and even a little clumsy.
I certainly like the direction that PHP seems to be moving in terms of
making the script structure more like a compiled application, rather
than a set of independent scripts.
If this doesn't pass, long term I think the main alternative would be to
have a single statement that was like a quasi-include of declarations in
another file, almost like a ".h"
declare_import('/my/namespace/nsprefs.php');
