Hi Rowan,
I'm also on the opinion that making the mixed type the (implicit) default
is not a good idea.
However, I believe the uninitialized state is useful, what's more, it was
unavoidable
in order to properly support non-nullable object properties. But I don't
want to make
a case for this
Hi Larry,
I admit that this flag is not too interesting, but I believe it still has
its own merit. I can imagine that the flag could play well with property
accessors as well, however,
in my opinion, the main use-case of final properties generally doesn't
involve setters/set accessors.

Yeah, one of my ideas was to first add support for mixed (for which there
have been a proposal/PR since quite some time), so that all

Hi Internals,
I'd like to propose the idea of adding support for immutable/final/readonly
properties in PHP 8.
My plan is to add a new immutable/final/readonly (the name is up for
debate) property modifier to the language so that these kind of properties
could only be initialized but not
