+Returning by reference with a ''noreturn'' type is allowed as well.
+<code php>
+class A {
+    public function &test(): int { ... }
+}
+class B extends A {
+    public function &test(): noreturn { throw new Exception; }
+}
+</code>
+Returning ''noreturn'' is also allowed in ''__toString'' methods:
+<code php>
+class A implements Stringable {
+    public function __toString(): string {
+        return "hello";
+    }
+}
+class B extends A {
+    public function __toString(): noreturn {
+        throw new \Exception('not supported');
+    }
 }
