Not being a regular on this list, I want to ask if there is history of
discussion of a "something or nul" return type declaration for PHP 7.

I'm only interested in this narrowly defined change, the PHP equivalent of a
`/** @return Something|null */` dockblock tag *without* generalizing to `/**
@return A|B|C... */`.

If this is already argued to death, or even just a bit, I'd like to read the
RFC(s) and discussion. Grateful for pointers.

Tom
