Split a scalar typehints RFC in several smaller RFCs, problems, questions, discussions?

- Should PHP support scalar type hints?
- What are the advantages of the typehints for objects?
- What are the advantages of strict/weak types?
- Be aware of the type handling of internal functions: 
   - float silently converted to int
      str_repeat ( string $input , int $multiplier )
      echo str_repeat('a', 3.7);
   - ...
- Validation of user submitted data in frameworks is already strict
  type checking
- ...
