The whole PHP Documentation is based around the fact that `mixed` includes
`null`, would it make more "sense" that `null` is not included, probably,
also even if I do like the proposal it seems this is just to add a
type-hint so you can *mostly* type hint all function.
But in this regards I would prefer that the scalar RFC type hint goes back
into discussion as it has potentially more use case IMHO.

Best regards
