What about scalar type declaration in userland?


namespace mytypes;


declare scalartype amount($amount) {
   if (!is_int($amount) && !is_float($amount)) {
        throw new InvalidArgumentException('Argument amount 
        must be of the type int|float, '.gettype($amount).' given');
   }
}


function addVat(mytypes\amount $amount) {
    return round($amount*1.19, 2);
}

addVat(42)   // OK
addVat("42") // OK
addVat(-42)  // OK
addVat(42.0) // OK
addVat(true) // Exception


var mytypes\amount $amount = 0;

$amount = 42;   // OK
$amount = "42"; // OK
$amount = true; // Exception
