Subject: Scalar Type Hinting
From: xwisdom@gmail.com (Raymond Irving)

Hello,

I came across some info on the web that states that scalar type hinting was
added to the PHP trunk but it did not make it's way into 5.4 because of
objections from the community. Will it ever make it's way into 5.5?

I know PHP is considered to be a weak typed language but it should also be
about freedom. Freedom for a PHP developer to choose to use scalar type
hinting whenever he/she sees the need.


Best regards,
