Theoretically it would allow a class to implement two separate
interfaces that would otherwise be incompatible:
interface A {
function foo();
}
interface B implements A {
function bar(B $b);
}
interface C implements A {
function bar(C $c);
};
class D implements B, C {
// Any object that implements B or C must also
// implement A, but only the methods from interface A
// are safe to call inside the method.
function bar(A $a){
$a->foo();
}
function foo(){...}
}
But I agree, the number of times I've wanted to do this is low.
cheers
