My worry about "optional type declarations" is that once a type is present it isn't optional anymore. Could be confusing and I am unsure if that's any better than a "type hint". If we change it, maybe just call them "type declarations". I think just referring to them as "types" could be too ambiguous. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
