Tjerk,
I think you have a nice idea about E_STRICT, except it makes much
more sense with auto-conversion. That is - in case of 'fail' - we'd
still convert, and emit E_STRICT (or E_NOTICE). That means that the
API developer will always get the type he expects, while the user
will be guided in the right direction in a friendly PHPish manner.
The conversion table is up for discussion, BTW. If most people
prefer that it's more similar to PHP's existing auto-conversion rules
(that appears to be the case) we can certainly do that.
