L.S.,
I just noticed something which seems odd to me: PHP 8.1 deprecated
declaring a function to return by reference when the return type is void:
`function &foo() : void {}` results in:
"Deprecated: foo(): Returning by reference from a void function is
deprecated"
However, declaring a function to return by reference when the return
type is "never" does not yield either an error or a deprecation notice:

I might well be missing something, but this feels a bit strange and
inconsistent to me.
Should this be fixed by also deprecating return by reference for "never"
functions ?
Smile,
Juliette
