> HHVM calls this a "catachable" fatal error. This is interesting as in the RFC the error shown actually matches HHVM's error.

It was a "catchable" fatal error (i.e. E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR) in PHP 5.x for typehints. But PHP 7 is changing it to be an Exception instead, and for some reason it currently produces an inaccurate error message in the master branch - it should say "Uncaught exception" (which it is), but that's not been fixed yet. Trunk builds aren't ready for production use, etc.
