Description terje7601 2013-07-26 12:55:25 UTC 
This works as expected & says "No suggestions:

$times = array(new DateTime(), new DateTime());
$times->

While this doesn't work as expected & lists the DateTime functions:

/**
 * @return DateTime[]
 */
function getTimes() {
    return array(new DateTime(), new DateTime());
}

$times = getTimes();
$times->

same when using an @param PHPDoc tag:

/**
 * @param DateTime[] $times
 */
function setTimes($times) {
    $times->
}

All the above cases should say "No suggestions", & ideally NetBeans would also give the reason why: "No suggestions. $times is documented to be an array"
Comment 1 Ondrej Brejla 2013-07-29 08:34:00 UTC 
It's an intent to allow CC in such cases:

foreach (getTimes() as $value) {
    $value->
}

It could be improved, but it's a bigger task. P4 as a reminder.
