That change would certainly require the RFC process[1]. Maybe you
want to pursue it?

Description:
------------
if there is a declare(strict_types=1); string to number casting should be avoided, for
example:
var_dump('20' < '3');// is false
Pros/Cons:
+ it will be faster (no if string is a number check, no casting)
+ it will be common (with strings, compat with other langs like JS, Python)
+ it will be more error prone (because it's common)
- some old code which rely on this feature will break (does it exist?)
Test script:
---------------
var_dump('20' < '3');
Expected result:
----------------
true
Actual result:
--------------
false
