Hi,

Point me to an argument inerfaces are required. Or boolean (would could use
0/1 instead). Or abstract methods. Or function/methods parameters (we could
use func_get_args()). Or default parameters. Or [insert random feature
here].

Or: Point me to an argument, why the array of "Foo" shouldn't be a
specialised class, that implements 'Iteratable'. With this your foreach
"problem" simply disappear and everything, what remains, is something to
make IDEs happy (with one line less to write...).

My opinion

Regards,
Sebastian
