But I am not a big fan to putting === there, it looks weird. Maybe go a bit further and make the whole switch strict? strict switch ($a) { case FOO: case BAR: // both are strict === } I imagine people that like strict style would want to use strict everywhere, so for them using === every time might be annoying. This way it makes for easier read for both strict and weak typers. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
