    Editor note: This behaviour is due to BC concerns with PHP 7, and will likely be fixed in PHP 9.

    PHP 8.3

    interface AnyType {}
    interface Type2 {}

    function test (AnyType|null $param) {}

    The ReflectionParameter will return ReflectionNamedType, NOT ReflectionUnionType (null is ignored basically).

    However, function test (AnyType|Type2|null $param) {}

    will return ReflectionUnionType with 3 types, NOT 2 (null is not ignored this time).

    To me, this is just wrong and logical error in PHP.
