I think adding this to the language would be very controversial, because it opens up the ability to undermine the "caller decides" concept of the two scalar type modes. People on this list have openly said that they would like to force users to call their library from strict mode, and others (myself included) would rather that wasn't possible. On the other hand, there were a handful of cases suggested where such an indicator would be useful to *emulate* the two modes in functions with more complex signatures. For testing purposes, it would presumably be enough for run-tests.php itself to expose whether the strict types override was in effect, which would sidestep the wider issue.
