What is the use case for int|float? I mean, if f is able to process a float than f is able to process an int and since int is already automatically changed to a float, well, you're done

just read the mass of bugreports caused by float answered with the default paragraph below and you know why you don't want your int-values silently converted to a float 7 may become to 7.000000000000000001 or something similar and "$x === 7" may also fail wile the argument was int 7 ________________________ Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might not have the same string representation after any processing. That also includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly printing it without any mathematical operations. If you would like to know more about "floats" and what IEEE 754 is, read this: http://www.floating-point-gui.de/
