                    Would it be possible to add an optional $strict
                    parameter to
                    switch? E.g.
                    ```
                    switch ($i, true) {

                I'd very much prefer a "strict switch ($i) { ... }" over
                a second parameter.

            What do either of you think of my "switch-use" proposal,
            which would spell this as "switch ($i) use (===)"?

        That seems more complicated and confusing than either of the
        other options. Normally use() is for inheriting variables in
        anonymous functions.

    where did you see use() in the proposed SYNTAX?
    hint: it's not there

    it's just "strict switch" versus "switch"

Rowan's suggestion included use

the whole switch discussion is broken by design with "<?php declare(strict_types=1);" the intention is pretty clear raise an error if cases are mixed (case 'a' and case 1 und the same switch) and also raise an error in a case libe below when $a is anything else then int there is reall yno syntax sugar needed - the first statement of the file contains the intention of the developer and yes i migrated a 250000 LOC codebase stared in 2003 with PHP4 to PHP7 with strict types for every single file switch($a) { case 1: ..; break; case 2: ..; break; }
