Heya!

I was not aware that strict types didn't work here. While I'm 100% behind
the idea, I am afraid that changing this will break code in currently
strict files where the assumption was made that it already worked like
that. It would probably have to give deprecation notices first, and then
possibly a warning or removal in the next major to be feasible.
