Typehints and = null

I just committed a patch to PHP CVS which allows you to do the following:

<?php
class foo {
    }
    function bla( foo $blah = null )
    {
        var_dump( $blah );
    }
    $f = new foo;
    bla( $f );
    bla();
    bla( null );
?>

I'm going to assume that this will be in 6.0 as 5.1 has Release Candidates out.
