Has there been any other syntax considered other than collection(Dict) Articles<string => Article>?
Could there be an alternative syntax proposed like an evaluation of how baked enums are declared?

collection Articles:dict<string => Article>

Going into potential generics implementation in the future that'd allow template declaration like:

interface Vehicle {}

collection Vehicles<T of Vehicle>:dict<string => T>

class Car implements Vehicle {}
class Truck implements Vehicle {}

$trucks = new Vehicles<Truck>(['VIN' => new Truck()]);
$trucks->set('VIN2', new Car()); // triggers error
