I do not think strict typing is a right way to do it. Strict typing has specific meaning in many languages, including (unfortunately, IMHO) in PHP - that the value has specific type. (Ab)using it to mean "the value conforms to specific multi-type use case" seems not the right way to me, unless we design very different type system from what we have now - but even then we should start with designing it, not with ad-hoc use cases. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
