My impression is that there only minor support for the "flexible" approach, and that even then, everyone prefers strict checking by default. So the ideal seems to be your patch, with the addition of function x ((int) $casted_parameter) { ... } Since this can be built as an extra step on top of your patch, this can be added later (although it would obviously be great if you preferred to add it now...). I recommend you proceed with the next step of getting your patch accepted (I presume an RFC or something). Thanks, Paul -- Paul Biggar paul.biggar@gmail.com
