I would urge you to vote in favour. It is not going to please everyone, = it is after all a compromise proposal. However, I have tried my best to = strike a balance between complete weak typing and strict typing. If this = passes, we will finally have userland type specifiers for scalar types. = It=92s not perfect, but I=92d argue it=92s far better than nothing. Voting starts today, 2014-09-14, and ends in a week=92s time, = 2014-09-21. Thanks! https://wiki.php.net/rfc/scalar_type_hinting_with_cast#vote -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
