RE: [PHP-DEV] Scalar Type Hints v0.4

(*) Please refer to my other posts proposing single mode with the addition of four 'strict' scalar types at ZPP level (would apply to internal *and*userland). These will be chosen by internal function implementors when they decide it, not by the caller. I hope it can solve your question. The idea is that internal function are treated as weak using the current ZPP types. Then, they can be made strict, one by one, and argument by argument. No need to duplicate type hinting to arg_info IMO. Rasmus' (int -> float) coercion question does not exist if we find a single mode consensus. And, I am decided to take the time it needs to find one, as I think it can lead to a much more consistent design. Can you just tell me if what I exposed above solves your concerns ? Thanks.
