I'm not sure I'm seeing improvements over the other RFCs here ... or I
just missed something obvious. From a quick glance, this one here:
Type declration "string" and you pass in a "bool" type.
When in practive the conversion is like this:
$ php -r 'var_dump( (string) false ); var_dump( (string) true );'
string(0) ""
string(1) "1"
$ php -v
