Subject: Coercive Scalar Type Hints RFC
From: zeev@zend.com (Zeev Suraski)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

All,



I=E2=80=99ve been working with Fran=C3=A7ois and several other people from =
internals@
and the PHP community to create a single-mode Scalar Type Hints proposal.



I think it=E2=80=99s the RFC is a bit premature and could benefit from a bi=
t more
time, but given the time pressure, as well as the fact that a not fully
compatible subset of that RFC was published and has people already
discussing it, it made the most sense to publish it sooner rather than
later.



The RFC is available here:



wiki.php.net/rfc/coercive_sth



Comments welcome!


Zeev
