 +===== Introduction =====
 +
 +This RFC proposes improvements to the way we handle type information in reflection. This work will make it easier for writing tools that convert type information from reflection into strings. This RFC also adds support the reflection API for type information return types if the [[returntypehinting|Return Type RFC]] is accepted.
  
 ===== Proposal ===== ===== Proposal =====
  
-This RFC proposes a new class ''ReflectionTypeAnnotation'' to represent type information; currently this information is contained on the ''ReflectionParameter'' class. This RFC adds methods to ''ReflectionParameter'' to use this new class: <php>ReflectionParameter::hasTypeAnnotation()</php> and <php>ReflectionParameter::getTypeAnnotation()</php>. If the Return Type RFC is accepted it will then it will also use this new ''ReflectionTypeAnnotation'' class.+This RFC proposes a new class ''ReflectionTypeAnnotation'' to represent type information.

 The class ''ReflectionTypeAnnotation'' also has ''%%__toString%%'' method to make parsing function/method signatures and replicating them for mocking frameworks simpler; current mocking frameworks have to cast the ReflectionParameter to a string, then text parse that string to retrieve the information. The class ''ReflectionTypeAnnotation'' also has ''%%__toString%%'' method to make parsing function/method signatures and replicating them for mocking frameworks simpler; current mocking frameworks have to cast the ReflectionParameter to a string, then text parse that string to retrieve the information.
