-1 on 5.3. The window for adding new major features to 5.3 is obviously long gone. Not sure why you are even suggesting it. +0 on parts of it for the next major release. You still haven't convinced me that strict type checking won't cause more problems than it will solve, but I do see the benefits.

Agreed 100%: -1 on 5.3. Such a major change simply does not belong in 5.3 as a last-minute addition. +0 for revisiting for the next major release. Will change to +1 if we focus on conversion only - with slightly stricter semantics than the ones for internal functions, but with very much the same theme - as per my email. Zeev
