Hello, a union type would be an union of types - so it should be int|bool, shouldn't it? (Also, I don't personally like the idea of union types in general, but it's not relevant to the current RFC, so I won't comment more on that issue.) Still, maybe the title of the RFC should change to "Reserve More Keywords in PHP 7", so it's not misleading? PS: Thanks for the info about internal stuff, didn't know about that. :) Regards Pavel Kouril -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
