Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Introducing "Array Of" RFC

It's not that I don't like the idea of an array type hint. I just don't
like this implementation. I'd much rather see something like the HHVM
implementation Sara spoke of that actually doesn't constrain the
implementation to such limiting use cases as those you have exhibited

It is an RFC, not a vote. I personally wasn't trying to reject this feature
while proposing an alternative syntax, and my guess is that Sara Golemon
didn't either. The goal is to improve on it.

Cheers,
Andrey.
