I was getting deprecation notices after updating a project to PHP 8.2.
Have added type hints and property defaults along with a general code tidy on the worked files.

Type hints are breaking changes, not?

As failing tests are suggesting, these are breaking changes, not really backward compatible. Therefore I'm against this PR to be merged.

Changed the default delimiters to null. Hopefully fixed phpunit errors.

Well, we still have tons of hints, forcing some type. Like:
public function getViewScript(?string $action = null, ?bool $noController = null): string

Why exactly we are trying to be more typed here pls? Wgat are those deprecation messages about?
By merging this, consequences could be huge in terms of backward compatibility.

My guess is this is about PHP adding "tentative return types" to built-in classes, and giving (non-error) messages like this:

Deprecated: Return type of Example::count() should either be compatible with Countable::count(): int, or the #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice

As the message says, the backward-compatible way of acknowledging but silencing the notice is to add a #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute. If placed on its own line, this looks like a comment to older versions of PHP, so is completely safe. Note that all that does is reduce the logging of the message; the actual problem will probably have to be tackled if and when someone wants a version of this library working on PHP 9.0.

See this Stack Overflow reference question for a deeper explanation.
