Type hinting is for instance not covered (should imho at least be on pair
with function signatures).

On 6.0 todo list:
There are lots of things that would be nice additions to php on the 6.0 todo
list*.
If all these have been voted for in the past, I'll suggest that they could
be worked on in upcoming 5.x versions as well leading up to an eventual 6.0
version.

*eg:

   - Property overloading RFC aka abstract/virtual properties and get/set
   handlers (derick) (related?)
   - add support for type-hinted return values. *caugh*
   - add ability to allocate persistent zvals in PHP.
   - add support for files >2GB once native 64bit integers are implemented
   (pierre,wez)
   - APC
      - include APC in the core distributions (turned off by default) and
      switch to mmap as default shared memory storage.
      - ability to move autoloaded main classes in apc's class lookup
      preventing the overhead of doing the inheritance process all the time.
      (marcus)
