I don't think anybody was proposing any such tracking, simply a shorthand =
for this:

array_map(strval(=2E=2E=2E), array_keys($array));

In other words, take the keys of any array, which might be a mixture of in=
tegers and strings, and convert them all to strings, regardless of how they=
 were originally specified=2E The result being an array where the values ca=
n all be safely passed to a function expecting strings, with strict_types=
=3D1 in force=2E
