I wouldn't consider this a BC break. Anybody who relies on implicit
array->string conversion has a bug anyway, and we allow that implicit
conversion to survive only for legacy reasons, but I don't think it
should drag behind itself the promise we'd never support array parameter
where there was only string before. In summary, I'd say no BC break here.
