I'm saying that this should be an error, because the value is neither an instance of Foo nor null: $a = 42; $b = $a as Foo|null; Your earlier example implies that would make $b equal null, which feels wrong to me, because it means it wouldn't match this: $a = 42; $b = $a as Foo|Bar; If we want a short-hand for "set to null on error" that should be separate from the syntax for a nullable type.
