Other Standards & Conventions Not Enforced by PHP_CodeSniffer:

1. Variables should be in snake_case unless they are shadowing parameters defined in function or method from a third-party library. This caveat is intended to prevent problems with named parameters, and vendor compatibility.)
2. Methods and functions, except for class __construct and __destruct methods, MUST have a defined return type.
3. Anonymous and arrow functions MUST have a defined parameter and return types.
4. Parameters MUST have defined types, unless they are extending/implementing a third-party library method or function that does not allow it.
5. Class properties MUST have defined types.
6. Enum cases must be in PascalCase, unless they are less than 4 characters long, and do not conflict with class constants.
