If nobody else does it, I will.

I think Andrea's 0.3 proposal was extremely well balanced, served
everyone's needs whether they would admit it or not, and who's only
failing (subjectively termed) was the use of declare().  I think
declare() is fine and not nearly as ugly as some have slandered it to
be, but I'm willing to read the winds and modify it for v0.4.

Straw poll:
1) <?php strict;
2) <?php-strict
3) use strict; (psuedo-namespace)
3) <?php // strict (I don't actually like HHVM's style, but if you do...)
4) declare(strict=3Dtrue); (As a top-level declare only)
5) declare(strict=3Dtrue); (exactly as in v0.3 -- maybe you liked it)
6) your write-in vote here

I'm not going to scope in union types, nullables, or falsables.  We
can leave that for a followup RFC, this one is contentious enough as
it is.
