Description:
------------
[ FEATURE REQUEST ]
[ NOT A BUG ]

uint - unsigned int (0,1,2,3)
ufloat - unsigned float

resource (replace to opened OR closed resource)

stack (array w/ordered ("default") int keys 0,1,2,3)
list (array w/non-ordered int keys 1,4,3,0)
assoc (array w/both int/string keys but fatal if only int/only string keys)
dict (array w/string keys)

+ - non-empty
resource+ (opened resource)
int+ (1,2,3... but fatal if 0)
float+ (0.01, 0.02 but fatal if 0.0)
string+ (at least one letter or fatal)
array+ (at least one item or fatal)

would be great to but not so required
string[] // list(!) of strings
Object[] // list(!) of objects

and i know that will be implemented in 7.4 - co-return 'string|array', 'OneInterface|TwoInterface'

Test script:
---------------
function hello(? int $limit)
{
  // damn i need this every time
  $limit = max(0, $limit);
  if (0 === $limit) throw \InvalidArgumentException('Error');
  
  // yes, i can: $limit = max(1, $limit);
 // and somewhere i could expect fatal error if 0 is going from another function, but this function wont throw and will work like 1 passed
}

Expected result:
----------------
Reduce count of if/elses + exceptions required when you writing simple scripts (usually required by Saas flow)

Actual result:
--------------
tonns of "if/else"
making properties to separate objects to "true OOP"

and then projects with 1500 files... instead of 100.

This feature requires discussion on the internals mailing list,
and likely the RFC process[1].  Please start the discussion there;
for the time being I'm suspending this ticket.
