Wiping type info is indeed unwanted. As it currently stands, for example,
un-setting a property and then re-assigning it retains its visibility
properties, and doesn't destroy property information.

See https://3v4l.org/pCmTV for an example (copied here for reference):

<?php

class Foo
{
    private $bar = 'baz';

    public function __construct()
    {
        unset($this->bar);
    }

    public function getFooBar()
    {
        return $this->bar;
    }
}

class Bar extends Foo
{
    private $bar = 'baz';

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        unset($this->bar);
    }

    public function getBarBar()
    {
        return $this->bar;
    }
}

$bar = new Bar();

var_dump($bar->getFooBar()); // notice + null
var_dump($bar->getBarBar()); // notice + null

$rBarBar = new ReflectionProperty(Foo::class, 'bar');
$rBarBar->setAccessible(true);
$rBarBar->setValue($bar, __LINE__);

var_dump($bar->getFooBar()); // line no.
var_dump($bar->getBarBar()); // notice + null
