 I have voted (no) again.

 I still think that if we add support for scalars in type declarations
 then the corresponding check must be strict. But since that strictness
 does not align with the spirit of PHP I much rather have no support
 for scalars than one that is not strict.

 Maybe built-in classes such as String, Integer, Float, Boolean that know
 how convert themselves to the corresponding scalar type are a viable
 approach that is worth exploring.
