[TYPO3-dev] Small PhpStorm hint for devs

[Dmitry Dulepov]

Hi!

If you use PhpStorm, most likely you love its autocomplete feature :) In 
many cases you can activate autocomplete when returning a parameter from 
the function:

/**
  * ...
  *
  * @return tx_class
  */
function foo() {
	return t3lib_div::makeInstance(...);
}

But what if you need to return an array? In the usual phpDoc you just write 
"@return array". But this does not give you autocomplete. With PhpStorm do 
this instead:

/**
  * ...
  *
  * @return tx_class[]
  */
function foo() {
	return array(
		t3lib_div::makeInstance(...),
		t3lib_div::makeInstance(...)
	);
}

Voila! You have autocomplete now for arrays too :)
