Since the void/null naming issue has been a frequently-asked question, I've added a subsection to the RFC explaining why I chose this name. It doesn't really say anything I haven't said already, it just summarises it. In particular, it lists a bunch of languages using `void`, some of which do what PHP does. The new section is here: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/void_return_type#why_call_it_void_and_not_null Thanks. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
