 PHPStorm has several ways of providing type inspection for them. For a
 very simple way of adding this, see the article here:

 can see, [https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-27830 I have been aware
 of this capability for a while], and in that link you can see that I think
 the way PhpStorm implements it is over-the-top complicated and it is very
 unlikely that most plugin or theme developers will master it.

 errors.

 FWIW, given that PHPStorm has built-in support for WordPress, there's a
 decent chance they would support the WordPress container OOTB if this
 landed. I'm not really sure the lack of IDE support should be a blocker
 here.

 Additionally, if you're concerned about hitting as broad a group of
 developers as possible, IDE concerns aren't that high a priority, given
 that groups 1-3 probably aren't using PHPStorm anyway.
