So you reject scalar type hinting because it isn't type casting and
can therefor confuses newbies - but scattering seemingly random
brackets around your code (to safe 5 key strokes) is obvious to users?
Noone would confuse this with named arguments?
Why can't I do function foo([] $array) {} ?
foo([]);
$var = [];
Is this really readable?
Are you really serious about this?
