I'm not a fan of this logic. Using Hack as a kind of prototyping-ground 
for PHP features is fine, but since they don't have the same 
decision-making process as us, we should be looking at the *result* of 
their experience, not just following their lead. It may seem a subtle 
difference, but to me "because that choice has worked out well in Hack" 
is a much stronger argument than "because the small team working on Hack 
chose it that way a few years ago".

In this case, there's some reason to question if it *has* worked out 
well in Hack, given that IIRC they had to hack (no pun intended) their 
parser to implement it.

Regards,
