True, but obviously, us who want strict typehints want to be able to do this:
function foo(int $bar) { /* ... */ }
... instead of something like this:
function foo($bar)
{
if ( ! is_int($bar))
{
trigger_error(sprintf('foo() expects argument 1 ($foo) to
be int, %s given', gettype($bar)), E_USER_ERROR);
exit(1);
}
/* ... */
}
Hence, simplifying. :)
Cheers,
Andrey.
