As requested, here is the justification for the additional keywords:

1. PHP7 added new standard exception types (classes). New Error objects can also be thrown for non-fatal errors. The geany keyword list already included the old standard Exception so it makes sense to also include the new, specialized exceptions and errors (ie. ArgumentCountError, ArithmeticError, ErrorException, etc.)
2. assert is now a language construct in PHP7. Language constructs like isset, array, and unset were already included in the geany PHP keywords list so it makes sense to add this new one.
3. Some magic methods like __sleep and __wakeup were already included in the PHP keywords list, but the other magic methods like __construct, __call, etc. were missing. All magic methods should be included for consistency.
4. PHP7 adds new interfaces and makes better use of old ones. They can be implemented in user classes or used for function argument type hinting: callable, traversable, closure, iterable (PHP 7.1), etc.
5. When running PHP in CLI mode, appropriate streams are automatically bound to the constants STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR. Other fundamental constants like TRUE/FALSE were already in the keyword list. I suggest including the stdio streams too.
6. void is a new return type in PHP 7.1.
