Hi Azjezz, thanks for jumping in!

> I have been using HackLang for quite a while now and i believe they have
a better solution for this, and it would awesome to see it in PHP, the `as`
operator.

If I understand correctly, `as` is an operator that performs type checks
but never casts like () does.
This looks like a serious candidate for an alternative syntax to the one I
proposed!
