As far as your example goes consider a function that expects a boolean, but instead gets an int/string/float, which in nearly all cases will result in TRUE. Which is not the desired outcome.

Which is why, for instance, PHPUnit today is full of code like this public function foo($flag) {

       if (!is_bool($flag)) {
           throw new InvalidArgumentException(/* ... */);
       }

} This is the type of code that I want to get rid off using scalar type hints. -- Sebastian Bergmann Co-Founder and Principal Consultant http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ http://thePHP.cc/
