First of all, I really like the RFC, good idea, well done.
But about some details. I am not sure if I got the implementation right (haven't done any code
contributions so far, so
I am not really familiar with the source code) but it seems that a check for NULL is implemented for
the actual
parameter which is perfectly fine (done for other type hints as well) but it also checks if all
members of an array are
not NULL and the check returns a failure if NULL is detected. I think that's wrong, NULL is a
perfect valid entry in an
array.
Furthermore, what about type hints like the following ones:
function foo(int[] $qualities, callable[] $callables){}
Seems like they are not supported. But might be that I am totally wrong and did not understand the
code
