I'd prefer raising a new warning type (e.g., E_AUTOCAST) over this.
Does the voting system support instant-runoffs? If people could rate their preferences of: 1) strict scalar types 2) weak scalar types (auto cast) 3) both - different syntaxes. e.g, (int) $foo vs int $foo 4) no scalar types we could reach a compromised consensus without some building Frankenstein. I really think having either basic strict or weak types is far preferred to nothing. There are good arguments on both sides ... let the voters decide. After that, additional RFCs could be created to address raising errors on auto case, using declares to toggle behavior, etc - depending of course on what was decided on prior vote. -- Matthew Leverton -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
