So I would propose to: 1. have ilia's strict typing patch (minus scalar and numeric) 2. have a patch that also adds for casting type hints from your RFC. Those could (and should) be considered as *two* new features. As for syntax, I believe the following would be best: function add_user(string $name, string $phone_number, (int) $age) { .. } because: 1. the casting type hint "(int) $var" is used for normal casting already 2. the strict type hint "int $var" is already used for class names+1
