Thank you Nikita for this decision. I would really like to have any kind
of scalar type hints introduced into PHP. I think most want this, but do
not agree if and how type conversion should happen. I urge all people
who can vote to consider if they can imagine a compromise that satisfies
all parties better and if there will ever be scalar type hints in the
near future if this vote fails. I am concerned the answers are probably
not and no. So please vote in a way that we can have scalar type hints
in the near future.

Thanks to all of you for participating in this discussion and making PHP
a better language!
Dennis
