Hello,

Using declare() IMO, is a PITA.
Everything that can be done without the use of declare(), must be done
without declare().

I would have prefered different syntax, like the ones we disccussed many
years ago , having strict checks with the foo(string $a) syntax, and
non-strict check with the foo((string) $a) syntax.
