That's why I developed PHPLint, a PHP parser and validator that performs
a static analysis of the source, ensuring the safe handling of types. In
a word, this tool makes PHP very close to a strong-typed language without
the need to further complicate the interpreter with new features that would
pervert the nature of the language.
I think this is better solution than messing with the language :)
