[TYPO3-core] Signals vs. Hooks

Careful with that one. You might get what you ask for ;) We had this before 
(interfaces on hooks). This breaks all extensions subscribing to a hook as 
soon as you have to modify the list of arguments. Or to state that 
otherwise: As soon as you use interfaces on hook data, you must never ever 
change the hook again.
This makes refactoring a nightmare. And it is against the design principle 
of PHP.

I am really a fan of the simple DTO data structure that is part of the PHP 
core: array(). We should make is of this in such situations.

Best regards
