In #42213 I removed those annotations and tried to convinced myself and others that we could do so without loosing too much.
I was about to send a PR to remove all remaining similar annotations. When I reviewed the patch I created for that, I stopped on
ItemInterface::tag()(which is just an example):symfony/src/Symfony/Contracts/Cache/ItemInterface.php
Lines 52 to 57 in 444d43f
If we remove that annotation on the interface, all implementations will have to deal with the return value of the call to
tag(). Whereas with@return $this, the contracts are clear: no need to, implementations are expected to mutate and return the current object. I don't think this would be appropriate in this example./cc @nikic as this might be some nice food for thoughts to consider adding
$thisas a possible native return type.
