Hello,

I'd say that this is definitely better than the dual mode RFC, but
worse than the coercive one - I can't find a single reason why some
modes switch should be good. I can only see negative outcomes from
this, and a painful experience when developing with PHP in the long
run as a userland developer.

Basically goes with what I've been saying from the beggining of the
introduction of the "dual mode" - I don't care if strong or weak
typing wins, but I want only on in the language. PHP is inconsistent,
there's no need to make even more inconsistencies and stuff.

Regards
