I have voted (no) again. I still think that if we add support for scalars in type declarations then the corresponding check must be strict. But since that strictness does not align with the spirit of PHP I much rather have no support for scalars than one that is not strict. Maybe built-in classes such as String, Integer, Float, Boolean that know how convert themselves to the corresponding scalar type are a viable approach that is worth exploring.
