Paul's proposal is some part does not make sense because it allows

No, the idea of type hinting is that you hint to the user about what
type the interface expects. You have implemented "strong type
checking" instead. I wonder that you cannot see the conflict between
the term "type hinting" and "strict interfaces". I would be happier if
you renamed your patch "optional strong scalar type checking", which
is what it is.
That's a fair statement I suppose.
