Perhaps, along the same lines, we could error if you use a nonsensical type 
hint for magic methods?

For example, allow this:

    class FooBar {
        public function __debugInfo(): array {
            return [’test’];
        }
    }

But not this:

    class FooBar {
        public function __debugInfo(): callable {
            return [’test’];
        }
    }

It’s not strictly necessary, but it would catch out bugs at “compile-time” 
(i.e. script startup) rather than call-time.
