Mike, changing this would break all sorts of stuff, and I think it would
confuse a lot of people. If HTML form variables were somehow typed by the
browsers, then it might make sense, but people are going to write code
like:
switch($input) {
case 1:
...
case 2:
...
case 3:
...
}
Forcing people to worry about the type on user input goes against the
basic nature of PHP.
