Please reconsider the decision to leave this bug open in PHP, any unexpected behavior in an operator as fundamental as == is VERY dangerous, and if used improperly could lead to security holes (i.e. unexpectedly, input that does not match could match a strict filter based on ==) I understand the rationale behind loosely typed comparison, and use it myself, but this is beyond loosely typed, it is explicitly changing type in an irrational way, as it only applies in certain cases.
