Also,
function foo(SomeClass $obj) would error out if passed something other
than a SomeClass instance, while
function foo(int $number) would just cast $number to int.
Not really intuitive and not really consistent.

Hello,
typing into PHP, even if it is optional. Passing $_REQUEST['age'] to a

would you please not use $_REQUEST in any of your examples? $_REQUEST is
one of the biggest design weaknesses in PHP. Every application using
$_REQUEST is most probably vulnerable to Delayed Cross Site Request
Forgery problems. (This basically means if e.g. a cookie named (age)
exists it will always overwrite the GET/POST content and therefore
unwanted requests will be performed)
And well... This thread continues without a single valid (!= personal
opinion) reason why type hinting should NOT be introduced. BTW accepting
the string '1' where an (int) type hint is placed would be the next
stupid design decision.
