I'd like to bring back the topic of supporting "true" as a type in PHP 8

Now that the RFC <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/union_types_v2> has been

"true" pseudo-type in addition to "false".

Thoughts?

Hey,
Looking at my current project's code, I found one place where we use a
"string|true" as return type for an authentication method which returns
true or an error code if it fails.
Of course all the use cases we can argue about whether they are valid
and so on, but my main problem is the weird state of having false as a
type and not true. It just feels like an inconsistency in the language
that'll surely bite people when they'll try to use true as a type.
It might not be often, but it's kind of a shame if we can foresee it and
prevent it from happening.
TL;DR: true
Best,
Jordi
