I don’t see why this would create “mutant” or “buggy” behaviour. You always get the type you ask for: the weak behaviour is precisely the same as in v0.1. The strict behaviour is fairly intuitive. In no case will you ever receive the wrong type. I don’t understand. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
