Re: [VOTE][RFC] Array Of
FYI, I changed my vote from +1 to -1.
I like the idea (the +1 part), but I don't think it's the right way to fix
it (the -1 part).
Generics would solve this in a nicer way without being impacted by an O(n)
problem of type checking.
I'd second a Collection support with array_* integration which would make
everything much nicer too.
Cheers,
