PHP7.4 bool getting confused by boolean

[leon-v]

<?
/**
 * [test description]
 * @param  bool|boolean $test [description]
 * @return [type]             [description]
 */
function test(bool $test = true) : bool {
	return false;
}
?>

When a function contains a declared parameter of bool and a default value set to true or false, it get incorrectly detected as boolean and thinks bool is different.

I recommend changing type boolean to bool.

In PHP boolean is a synonym of bool, but boolean values true and false are of type bool.

The importance of adhering to bool over boolean is because:

function test(boolean $test = true){ ... }

would produce a fatal error when the default is used.

It looks like the fix I recommended also works for this #469
