Hi and welcome :)
In general, I prefer explicit code over implicit, so wouldn't be an
enthusiastic supporter of this (although I might abstain rather than
voting against).
However, I though it worth mentioning that PHP has one implicit
interface already: any class with an __toString() method magically
implements Stringable. I've never really understood why, or why that
interface even exists; but at least having a general concept of
"implicit interface" would make it less magical.
