One reason I'm personally excited about this proposal is that it would allow static analysis in more cases, e.g. $param = 'fooBar'; // What's this string? A user name? Elon Musk's favorite color? Text of US Constitution? somefunc($param); function somefunc($cb) { $cb(123, 'meh'); // What parameter types does this accept? } Allowing syntax like $param = fooBar(?, ?); would indicate clearly what this variable receives. Analysis tools would then be able to check if such a function exists and whether it would receive parameters of expected types. -- Best regards, Max Semenik
