Allow specified arrays in docblock type hints

[nicwortel]

Example:

/**
 * @param Item[] $items
 */
public function foo(array $items)
{
    // do something
}

Should be fine but currently returns an error: Expected type hint "Item[]"; found "array" for $items

This fixes #601 and #624

Nice catch.

There might be other sniffs, that verify function parameter types against DocBlock as well. Please check them if you find any.

[nicwortel]

To be honest, I'm not very familiar with the internals of code sniffer yet. Do you mean other sniffs within the Squiz standard? Or in other standards?

[aik099]

All sniffs in all standards. I guess you can search for array or callable find find these places.

This issue is being fixed in PR #708 , along with another issue. The fix is almost the same, but just checks if the last two chars are [] rather than looking for them anywhere in the type hint. Both ways looks to work fine.

Thanks a lot for sending in the PR.
