Since you obviously could not care less about our time and you would
like to waste our precious spare time on things that have been
discussed to death rather then actually improving the language, I'll
mention it one more time.

Variables and class properties will NOT be "type hinted" until PHP
version ~21.2.0.

And because you are disrespecting everyone on this list, by not doing
your homework, everything you have to say from here on now will
probably be ignored because we all will remember you as "the guy who
is to important to read the archives".

I believe you know the basics of PHP. Knowing the basics of PHP you
should be able to imagine that this cannot work in PHP, ever. Not even
in PHP 21.2.0.
No matter how much you want it.


Unfortunately I would like scalar type hinting, but everytime you guys
drag scalar type hinting into the mud with features you very well know
will never happen, and don't read the archives, you are just hurting
the scalar type hinting team.

Thanks for absolutely killing it.
