I'm not happy with the fact, that you propose two competing RFCs, support only 
one and trying to withdraw other competitors.

It doesn't have an implementation, sure. But you already worked out
return types, the basics are already there in parameter types and
there's an implementation in HHVM. Do you really think this would be a
blocker? There is no reason to believe that a short-hand nullable
types implementation cannot be reasonably done.
