null or MyClass $a = 5 ?
I don't like this. I think it's too long and ugly.
I've no idea what nullable is supposed to mean... (well, I do :)
I was also wondering if the following would also work:
class b extends a { }
function foo (a $obj) { }
$b = new b; foo($b);
(ie, an inherited class also passes the hint check)
Yep. It's an instanceof check.
