>   - settype


AFAICS, there is no easy replacement for settype(). If the second =
argument is a string literal, you can use type coercion + assignment at =
the price of duplicating the occurrence of the first argument. If the =
second argument is not known at compile time, you have to resort to a =
switch statement or something similar.


>  - deprecate array function creation (array())

Here, I was really wondering why you didn=E2=80=99t mention =
function-like destructuring as well (list()). (Not that I think it is a =
good idea.)
