Hi Anthony,

I really like the idea. But I'd prefer the following syntax:

    public function __construct(~HttpKernelInterfaceForClientIp $parent) {
        $this->parent = $parent;
    }

Reasons:

* A passed object does not have to explicitly implement the interface, but
only implicitly ("practically", "more or less"). The tilde conveys that
semantic very well.
* As you mentioned, brackets are (IMO too) close to generics.

Cheers,
Bernhard
