Essentially, an int could become a float (within some limits), but a float can only become an int if it is an int itself. The same concept of a string, where "123test" couldn't become a number because "test" would be lost.

Both of these are already covered, at least as far as parameter/return types, which is what "strict_types" controls... '123test' is rejected, not coerced to int, as of 8.0: https://3v4l.org/nvbML Losing precision on a float-to-int is deprecated, so will presumably error as of 9.0: https://3v4l.org/vvD2e -- Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
