Hi, How useful is "scalar" as a type hint? I'm not sure it provides any benefit over "mixed".
Would it not be better to copy Hack and instead introduce two type hints: "num" (or "number") which is int|float and "arraykey" which is string|int? To me, these are much more useful pseudo types than "scalar" which gives me no usable guarantees over the type of data a function/method is receiving. ~C On Tue, 2 Jan 2018 at 08:38 Tony Marston <tonymars...@hotmail.com> wrote: > "Lester Caine" wrote in message > news:a1bb2452-3969-ca72-cf19-4ca4bcd90...@lsces.co.uk... > > > >On 31/12/17 22:45, Michael Morris wrote: > >> Please do not quote large swaths of Tony Marston's crap.
