Why on earth would you have int, string, resource, etc "return type hints"

type? That makes no sense and is so inconsistent.
static int function retarded(scalar $value) {
return (int) $value; // lol....
}
Let me turn your question around: Why on earth would someone restrict a
function to int when string works just as well?
function int foo_flexible(scalar $x) { return $x + 42; }
$foo = foo_flexible($value);
function int foo_retarded(int $x) { return $x + 42; }
$foo = foo_retarded((int)$value); # :-(
That said, I'll be using
function foo($x) { return $x + 42; }
anyway and let PHP warnings take care of the rest ;-)
