write PHP a lot. every day.

I wish we had typed arrays. Totally not gonna happen, theres been RFCs but I have enough boilerplate classes that are like

Class Option Class Options implements Iterator, countable, etc.

Options[0], Options[1], Options[2]

or Options->getOption('some.option.something');

A lot of wrapper stuff like that is semi tedious, the implementation can vary wildly.

Also because a lot of times in php you start with a generic array and decide you need structure around it so you implement a class, then you need an array of class,

Not to mention a bunch of WSDLs that autogenerate ArrayOfString classes...
