It seems odd to me to not support the aliases. Since I can do this:

   $foo = (integer)$bar;

I would expect to be able to do this:

   function foo(integer $param) {}

Also, do int, float, and numeric accept numbers in octal, hex, scientific 
notation, etc.? I don’t believe there are any examples in the RFC that 
intentionally or accidentally show what happens with, say, 0x2f as a value.
