Hi!
If anyone wants use type hinting, i believe that it should be strict. Otherwise, it makes more sense to not use it.
Just for the record, I see absolutely no sense in strict type hints. While there might be some use cases when you want to save typing by having function convert the arguments instead of you doing it manually - there's absolutely no sense to check types strictly in PHP, especially taking into attention that no API ever worked that way, and that it would force users to surround each call to such function with checks for argument types, since PHP can not have static type control. Using such feature would be a nightmare.
