I was also -1, partly for those reasons, but also because I think we
need to take some time (probably in a PHP 5++/6/7/whatever context and
after 5.6 has been frozen) to figure out if we want generics and, if
so, what form they would take syntactically. My guess is that they
won't look anything like ClassName[], and I don't really want another
weird syntax appendix that we have to maintain and document for a
decade or more to come.
