Hi, I read again and again the RFC and I just decided to switch my vote. Originally a "YES" voter, I'm now a "NO" voter. I still want strict types to exist in PHP, and not only at the end-user level, but also at the internals level (I can see so many optimizations around...). However, I think it's not an INI setting or a per file operation. I consider it should be (at the current PHP's pace) a heavily flexible support. I tend to agree that if you put "string" in its definition, you don't want a weak type, but strict type, the same way when you put MyClass instead of nothing.
That's why I don't agree with the declare or "use strict" or <?php strict. If I say "string $foo", I want a string, not a converted value. By accepting this fact, makes easier in the future to make OO primitive types if we wish, and also makes everything easier for everyone... if you have foo(string $name), you expect strict type... if you want weak type, foo($name). All code will work as is today, no BC breaks. That's my 2 cents... now time to update my vote in RFC.
