Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] What do we need strict scalar type hints for?

 No, I do not like that.

 We are talking about adding support for scalars (string, integer, ...)
 to the list of optional type declarations already supported (array,
 callable, interface name, class name) by PHP. When a developer chooses
 to use a scalar type in the signature of a function or method then it
 should be enforced as strictly as the already supported types. It should
 be up the caller to perform explicit type casting when required.
