Description:
------------
It would improve explicitly to add the key words 
"variant" (for function parameter/return variable type, for any type),
"object" (for function parameter/return variable type),
"void" (for function return variable type)

function Example (variant var1) : void {
	return;
}

"variant" is the same as not using a hint.
"object" doesn't say much: have a class/interface hint or don't use one at all.
"void" was added in 7.1. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/void_return_type
