Type hinting is for instance not covered (should imho at least be on pair
with function signatures).

On 6.0 todo list:
There are lots of things that would be nice additions to php on the 6.0 todo
list*.
If all these have been voted for in the past, I'll suggest that they could
be worked on in upcoming 5.x versions as well leading up to an eventual 6.0
version.
*eg:
- Property overloading RFC aka abstract/virtual properties and get/set
handlers (derick) (related?)
- add support for type-hinted return values. *caugh*
- add ability to allocate persistent zvals in PHP.
- add support for files >2GB once native 64bit integers are implemented
(pierre,wez)
- APC
- include APC in the core distributions (turned off by default) and
switch to mmap as default shared memory storage.
- ability to move autoloaded main classes in apc's class lookup
preventing the overhead of doing the inheritance process all the time.
