Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not

or just drop the type-hint
unless you use your class as if it was NULL (do nothing with it), you
are going to check that argument anyway
keep it simple
maybe it doesnt make much difference, but since php team already
discussed it, probably with a similar example in mind, and went this
way, i think we would need to give them a much better reason to change
back

The compromise can be to add new configuration parameter, something
like "allow_type_hinted_pass_null", to enable or disable this feature.

Description:
------------
Actually it was tested in RC3 (I don't find it in PHP version list).
It's very inconveniently, if I can't pass NULL instead of object to the
function.
In the example below the default value is used, but there is a same
behaviour, when I pass NULL explicitly.
I understand, that the report:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26780&edit=2
intersects with my, but my opinion is that not accepting NULLs is an
evident bug, very serious bug! And my example with the default value
illustrates it very well.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
        class foo {};
        function bar (foo $f = NULL) { echo 'ok'; }
        bar();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
ok

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Argument 1 must not be null in
/usr/local/www/data-dist/ils/admin/test/null.php on line 3
