I've started voting for the Allow null and false as stand-alone types RFC:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/null-false-standalone-types
Voting will last for 2 weeks until 26th of March.
Best regards,

Maybe I'm a little late to this discussion, but is there any reason why
false|null is allowed but true|null is not?
I can think of few cases where true|null could be interesting, but I've
been through situations like this.
Atenciosamente,
David Rodrigues

true is not a type in PHP compared to false, therefore it is not included.
I'm working on a proposal to add true as a type to PHP, but that's a
seperate RFC and discussion.

Was there ever an RFC for adding literal values to the type system?
This would solve all these problems by allowing stuff like:
function foobar(): "foo"|"bar"|true {
}

It's called enums ;-), so yes!

Hello,
I have voted yes, despite this clause:
Moreover, a function which has a void return type must only use return; whereas one with null must use return null;.
IMO, it should allow any expression including just return; and let
the runtime fail if it needs to.

This behaviour is the current behaviour in PHP, see:
https://3v4l.org/1m0Mk
and
https://3v4l.org/d19rd
It might make sense to change this, but this is out of scope for this RFC.
