Psalm supports using generic object types like `ArrayObject<int, string>`. Any generic object should be typehinted with appropriate [`@template` tags](templated_annotations.md).
### Intersection types
An annotation of the form `Type1&Type2&Type3` is an _Intersection Type_. Any value must satisfy `Type1`, `Type2` and `Type3` simultaneously.
For example, after this statement in a PHPUnit test:
```php
$hare = $this->createMock(Hare::class);
```
`$hare` will be an instance of a class that extends `Hare`, and implements `\PHPUnit\Framework\MockObject\MockObject`. So
`$hare` is typed as `Hare&\PHPUnit\Framework\MockObject\MockObject`. You can use this syntax whenever a value is
required to implement multiple interfaces. Only *object types* may be used within an intersection.
### Array types
In PHP, the `array` type is commonly used to represent three different data structures:

This is the `null` value, destroyer of worlds. Use it sparingly. Psalm supports you writing `?Foo` to mean `null|Foo`.
#### no-return
`no-return` is the 'return type' for a function that can never actually return, such as `die()`, `exit()`, or a function that
always throws an exception. It may also be written as `never-return` or `never-returns`, and is also known as the *bottom type*.
#### true, false
Use of `true` and `false` is also PHPDoc-compatible
