Both of these are already covered, at least as far as parameter/return 
types, which is what "strict_types" controls...

'123test' is rejected, not coerced to int, as of 8.0: https://3v4l.org/nvbML

Losing precision on a float-to-int is deprecated, so will presumably 
error as of 9.0: https://3v4l.org/vvD2e
