Are there any contexts where php doesn't already attempt to convert a
variable to the required type?
The one sticky thing I can think of is ===, and I think it's fine to say
that it'll fail in that case:
if ($object == false
would do the type conversion (using __boolean_value if it was defined),
whereas:
if ($object === false)
would fail.
