It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/allow-void-variance #php
Is the argument here that `void` is a supertype of everything?
@ellotheth the argument is that because the original call returned nothing, nobody would be dumb enough to write:
if ($foo->returnsVoid()) { }
Therefore, returning anything won't break that code because nobody would be dumb to have written it in the first place!
Wow.

@dshafik @ellotheth I feel like this is a great opportunity to remind everyone that "nobody would ever do that!" in software means "someone is ready to do it as soon as you push that new version, and they are licking their chops and rubbing a fork and knife together right now. You can see them"
@level2wizard @dshafik It's like Rule 34 for software development.
THANKS I'LL BE HERE ALL WEEK
