+1 if the object type hint is change to use T_CLASS so we don't break

Or this can wait until 6.0, when (as I hear) we'll have case-sensitive class names, so Object/object, Int/int won't cause collisions.
I'm really puzzled why a non-essential, and for the past months (years?) controversial and always rejected feature such as strict type hints, has everyone turning 180 degrees and putting it in a minor release in the course of a week.
