Notes:
We haven't increased the phpstan level here. There could be lots of changes to do, such as #498 (that has been sitting there for years). Or adding array shape PHPdoc throughout, and so on. But that all requires quite a bit of effort.

We have applied rector to the code, and having all the parameter and return types is "a good thing".

I am proposing to make this major version 5, so that everyone can decide when they want to upgrade.
