208	null as default value for parameters with array type hint produces a fatal error	romain.lalaut@…	moo	"To reproduce the error :

test.php
{{{
<?php

class A
{
        public function __construct( array $a = NULL)
        {
          echo 'Fooo';
        }
}

new A();
}}}

test2.php
{{{
<?php
namespace My\NS;

use My\NS;

class A
{
        public function __construct( array $a = NULL)
        {
          echo 'Fooo';
        }
}

new A();
}}}

Actually it returns
{{{
$ php-cgi test.php
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.0alpha4-dev
Content-type: text/html

<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Default value for parameters with array type hint can only be an array or NULL in <b>/home/romain/aubonticket/dev/tmp/bug.php</b> on line <b>5</b><br />
}}}

It must be (and it works with CLI SAPI) :
{{{
$ php-cgi test.php
Fooo
