Type hinting

All, As I mentioned numerous times scalar type hinting is a very controversial feature in my mind and requires some substantial discussion before we move ahead to implement it. As such, I think we should revert the patch that was committed to trunk and move to discuss it first instead. My (& Lukas') thoughts on the subject are detailed at <http://wiki.php.net/rfc/typecheckingstrictandweak>http://wiki.php.net/rfc/typecheckingstrictandweak As one of the key people who designed PHP's type system I consider strict type checks completely alien to and counterintuitive in PHP and am therefore pushing to implement 'weak' typing instead, in a way that's consistent and familiar to users.
