Will be nice to have regardless if PHP gets stuff like enums. It's not just
a dirty fix.

Strictly speaking it is not a BC change because `int` is not actually
enforced at all. Also this would be a problem in other languages...

function bar(): int{
    mixed $code = (new MyException)->getCode();
    return $code;
}

...but in PHP, as long MyException->getCode() continues to return `int`,
there would be no actual BC break.

But if you think it'll be necessary I'll require 2/3 of the votes.
