Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Object Casting - An Alternative to Type Hinting
From: keisial@gmail.com (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=C1ngel_Gonz=E1lez?=)

I just realised that if it were going to add magic casting, it could as well
be done with a spl_autocast_register(), so that you could either cast things
when they match, throw an exception, etc.  (there should be some default
value dynamic typing, so the perfomance wouldn't hurt) .

I don't think that's the perfect solution, though.
