Thanks for the effort, I just wanted to add one thing though. I'm not sure how this would work with php internals really but you didn't mention arrays at all in your examples. The way I see it, with the current conversion code, a weak bool type check would take array() as a valid false value, and while I agree that it's a useful behavior in conditionals sometimes, in the case of type checks it feels horribly wrong. So I hope it's just not mentionned because it's not a problem, otherwise I think it should be clarified. Cheers, Jordi
