What I always dreamed of PHP 😎 (IMPORTANT!)
I know there are such experiments, but it's unlikely to become a part of the language any time soon :(

Alternatives to Magic Methods?
For the love of god yes please yes this 1000x. I'd like to throw in scalar objects too.

Why does PHP not have object-oriented strings and arrays? Will it be added in a future version
Nikita Popov tried to solve the problem with this extension, but it never got wide support. The problem is that without users asking for this feature, Jetbrains and psalm/phpstan will not integrate it. But w/o their support, users cannot not even try the extension as everything will be shown as error.

Should PHP9 standardize naming conventions throughout the language?
These as it would remove the need to even care about the old function names which would exist for B/C purposes. We'd then be able to use primitive types as objects with functions to do all their manipulation as needed.

Which inconsistences of PHP annoy you the most?
It's been possible for quite a while but you have to enable a custom extension: https://github.com/nikic/scalar_objects and create an implementation of the class wrapper. I made one quite some time ago which is probably very incomplete: https://github.com/RikudouSage/scalar-objects.
- What third-party extension or library would you like to see included in php as default?
