Hello PHP internals,
Currently PHP doesn't support what could be a good feature for code quality, return typing (or if you prefer to call it: return type hinting). Since the procedure says that before any real RFC should be done, the interest for this topic should be gauged, I've drafted something here: https://gist.github.com/dlsniper/5863012 The goals for this discussion are: - gauge the interest in having such a feature in PHP.NEXT - find weak spots in the draft - find potential problems with the suggested way of doing the implementation - determine if the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages and this should go forward as a RFC As you can see, the draft doesn't include any patch and since my C skills are mostly nonexistent, I currently can't provide one unfortunately. I would however love to do it with proper guidance from someone that could spare some of his/her time to help me out. This said, thank you very much for your time, consideration and feedback on this subject.
