I've actually read that proposal. To some level it is good, but I felt like
there were too many problems. E_ERROR is overkill. For comparison, (function
(array $bar) {})('a') generates a catchable fatal error (E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR)
so that's the furthest this should go in any case, but when dealing with
jugglable types and there's just some unexpected data loss even
E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR is too much IMO; E_WARNING or E_NOTICE would be more
appropriate. IIRC it also failed conversions too aggressively.
