As of PHP 8.1, PHP will start throwing deprecation warnings along the lines of: ``` Deprecated: Return type of [CLASS]::[METHOD]() should either be compatible with [PHP NATIVE INTERFACE]::[METHOD](): [TYPE], or the #[ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice ``` These type of deprecation notices relate to the [Return types for internal methods RFC](https://wiki.php.net/rfc/internal_method_return_types) in PHP 8.1. Basically, as of PHP 8.1, these methods in classes which implement PHP native interfaces are expected to have a return type declared. The return type can be the same as used in PHP itself or a more specific type. This complies with the Liskov principle of covariance, which allows the return type of a child overloaded method to be more specific than that of the parent. The return type for `ArrayAccess::offsetGet()` is supposed to be `mixed`, but as that is a PHP 8.0 type, it cannot yet be added. Ref: https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.arrayaccess.php With that in mind, I've added the annotation instead. The other methods in this class were already declared with the appropriate return type. Note: While attributes are a PHP 8.0 feature only, due to the syntax choice for `#[]`, they will ignored in PHP < 8 and can be safely added.
