PHP 7 requirement not detected for return type hint

[CybotTM]

PHP CompatInfo does not detect PHP 7 minimum requirement for return type hint.

With following source code file:

<?php

function fooBar(integer $i) : string
{
    return (string) $i;
}

i would expect PHP CompatInfo returns PHP 7 as minimum, but it does report PHP 5.0.0 as minimum:

$ phpcompatinfo analyser:run php7.php

Hello
Thanks for reporting this issue. BTW, be aware that I've beginning to write a new Major version 6.0 that will be independant of php-reflect and will support PHP 7.0, 7.1, and future 7.2

Branch 5.0 is features closed. I'll drop branch 5.1, that was an attempt to include a new architecture based on sniffs.
Branch 6.0 will be soon available with an alpha version and a rewrites of monolithic CompatibilityAnalyser.

I'll keep you in touch ASAP.

Just for completeness:
Detection of nullable types are also missing (as an indicator for 7.1), but I'm sure you had that on your radar already. :)

Removes MS 6.0 because it will be included for upcoming release 5.4 (that is a compromise before full rewrites of v6), using the sniff architecture.

Sorry to be very so long to gave us a fix, but the world health situation give me a chance of free time ;-)

@MatthiasKuehneEllerhold I bit late to reply, but you're right it's effectivly on scope and issue #273 referenced it now !

It will be solved and with beta code of version 5.4 that will be available very soon now on repository.

Feedback of incoming v5.4 that will improve PHP 7 detection are of course welcome !
