Subject: [Discussion] Stricter implicit boolean coercions

Hello Internals,

After the first discussion about this topic
(https://externals.io/message/117608) I have created a preliminary
implementation and an RFC for making implicit boolean type coercions
more strict:

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/stricter_implicit_boolean_coercions

With this email I'm starting the two week discussion period. I welcome
any feedback on it and hope to further iron out the implementation if
needed. I mainly chose the route of introducing a deprecation notice
because it is in line with other RFCs that have similar goals (like the
Deprecate implicit non-integer-compatible float to int conversions RFC),
and it is fairly non-intrusive.

Best regards,

Andreas
