That comment confuses matters. People use PHP for all sorts of reasons, the
desire to tighten up in some places, on some occasions, should not be treated
with derision.
Tighter declarations, or any declarations at all, would not be mandatory. It would
be something that some projects might want to do. It would be nice if this could be
done on a module but module basis ... eg the implementors of a class library might
want to be really strict while allowing the class users to not be strict.
Just because Java has a feature that you appear to not like, does not mean that
others might not want it in some circumstances.
