Although they are complementary, the two RFCs are tackling different
subjects, so should remain separate IMHO.
- Andrea's RFC is discussing the behaviour of parsing number strings in a
wide variety of contexts, including implicit and explicit casts.
- Nikita's RFC is discussing the specific case of comparisons, and applies
existing number-parsing rules to different contexts
I am certainly in favour of them both targeting PHP 8, possibly along with
additional "type juggling" changes, which could all be documented together,
but I think it would just be confusing to try to cover all the examples,
pros and cons, and voting options in one RFC.
