or so there was a fairly detailed discussion on the internals list
regarding type hinting based on my original patch. Since then the
patch has been revised to address the major concerns that were
identified (breakage of binary compatibility) as well extended with
additional functionality (object hint, type casting, reflection
support, etc...).
The final patch is available here:
http://ilia.ws/patch/type_hint_53_v2.txt
The test suit is available here:

I would like to ask all developers to voice their opinions of whether
it makes sense to add this to 5.3 or to throw it away (either one is
fine btw). To keep the process simple & flamewar free, please restrict
yourself to +/- (1/0), next week monday I'll run a tally of the votes
and based on the result we can determine how to proceed further.

-1 for PHP 5.3
0 for type casting
+1 for type enforcing a la "function a(int $param)"
