Imho HHVMs syntax has the massive flaw that you cannot use docblocks on
those properties anymore, which is not the case with this RFC. All other
things equal, this is why this RFC should clearly be favored.

Also with typehints or - unlikely but possible - property-accesors the hhvm
syntax will become very verbose for the __construct line, wheras this RFC
can handle those cases without having to think about future compatibility.
