I emailed about return type hinting, array access on function returns (1
or 2 emails), and calling class constructors dynamically (1 email). I
want to see if there's a need for any of this and then submit a patch,
I'm not just talking; I've spent quite a bit of time writing code.

PHP generals isn't going to help me with any of this, they're going to
tell me what I already know.
