I'm not sure what's the point of it. "mixed" means "any type". Not writing a type means "any type". So why waste space and add something that contributes nothing when everybody is already using the current convention and the new one does not add anything at all? > mixed, > it should be easy to eliminate this inconsistency There's no "inconsistency" here. > and achieve fully type hinted code. This is not an "achievement" - adding prefixes for the sake of all variables having prefixes that mean nothing is not an "achievement". I do not see any point in it. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
