The only backing types for Enums are int and string. The proper return type for ReflectionEnum::getBackingType() is thus null|ReflectionNamedType.

BetterReflection would like to extend these classes to provide
adaptors. As our other Reflector classes are non-final, I think
it makes sense to make these non-final as well.
Closes GH-7520.
Add support for readonly properties, for which only a single
initializing assignment from the declaring scope is allowed.

Closes GH-7089.
Implement printing for ReflectionAttribute. Attributes aren't
printed as part of reflection output for other structures (classes
etc) yet.
Closes GH-6117.
While the typed property ensures that the value is a string,
we should make sure that we handle an unset property gracefully.
Do this by throwing the same error we would normally throw if
you access an uninitializde typed property.
ReflectionReference::fromArrayElement(array $array, int|string $key): ?ReflectionReference
is going to be its official signature for PHP 8.0.
Closes GH-5651
The hash is used to check whether the arginfo file needs to be
regenerated. PHP-Parser will only be downloaded if this is actually
necessary.
This ensures that release artifacts will never try to regenerate
stubs and thus fetch PHP-Parser, as long as you do not modify any
files.
Closes GH-5739.
This solves [#79628](https://bugs.php.net/79628).
Similar to `ReflectionClass::getMethods()` and `ReflectionClass::getProperties()`,
this new `$filter` argument allows the filtering of constants defined in a class by
their visibility.
For that, we create three new constants for `ReflectionClassConstant`:
* `IS_PUBLIC`
* `IS_PROTECTED`
* `IS_PRIVATE`
Closes GH-5649.
This deprecates:
ReflectionParameter::isArray()
ReflectionParameter::isCallable()
ReflectionParameter::getClass()
These APIs have been superseded by ReflectionParameter::getType()
since PHP 7.0. Types introduced since that time are not available
through the old APIs, and their behavior is getting increasingly
confusing. This is how they interact with PHP 8 union types:
* isArray() will return true if the type is array or ?array,
but not any other union type
* Same for isCallable().
* getClass() will return a class for T|int etc, as long as the
union only contains a single type. T1|T2 will return null.
This behavior is not particularly reasonable or useful, and will
get more confusing as new type system extensions are added.
Closes GH-5209.
