 ===== Proposal ===== ===== Proposal =====
  
-The proposal is either: +The proposal is: 
-  - Treat boolean and null types as a restricted type value and deprecate alphanumeric increment. +  - always treat boolean and null types as an integer, but raise a warning. 
-  - Treat boolean and null types as an integer value and deprecate alphanumeric increment. +  - deprecate alphanumeric increment and introduce ''str_inc()'' and ''str_dec()''.
-  - No changes.+

 ===== Backward Incompatible Changes ===== ===== Backward Incompatible Changes =====
  
-With "option 1" the null value no longer increments to 1; this may lead to problems in for-loops with null values as the start argument.+Incrementing ''null'' will now raise a warning; incrementing alphanumeric strings will raise a deprecation notice.
  
 ===== Proposed PHP Version(s) ===== ===== Proposed PHP Version(s) =====
  
-**Next 5.x** +**PHP 7**
- +
-Introduce a notice for the current string increment use case. This will help developers spot their usage more easily. +
- +
-**Next major** +
- +
-Removal of string increment using ++ and --.+
