How to indicate support for unimplemented part of an RFC

Hi, What is the proper way to express support for an item that's not an official part of an RFC but is listed as an idea for future consideration? Specifically I wanted to give my "+1" for covariant return types which are mentioned in passing in this RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/return_types. While I could create a new issue for this in the bug database and see if anyone else expresses support as well, I'm guessing that's not the correct thing to do. Perhaps just this message is sufficient and reaches the relevant audience. Thanks, Matt

I think you'd go ahead and create an RFC for it :)

In this particular instance, it may be more to the point to create an *implementation* of it. The reason it was omitted was not for lack of desire, but due to practical problems of how to make it work. See for instance http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=142791636808421&w=2 Regards,
