Thanks Anthony for the thorough explanation and your view on the matter,
highly appreciated. I am sure that long-term developers have gone through
both ends of the strong types, either loving their lack while picking up
php for
the first time, either cursing it's lack later on along the way.

As you mentioned you can pretty much do anything in PHP in both small setups
or even "enterprise" - god I hate that word - so it would make sense to
have
something that gives both parties what they want.

Having said this, I am truly hoping we can put an end to all this and have
your
current RFC in and move along.

Regards
Stelian
