I would rather have int $num for coercive typing - given that close to
100% of existing typed functions - namely internal functions - mean
exactly that and are actually documented with this exact syntax. Yes,
there are some functions that do strict, but those are in most cases are
either close to bugs which nobody cares to fix since it's so narrow a
case or some very special cases of some complex API where type matters
for API-specific reasons.
As for strict, maybe it can be int! $num or something like that. I'm not
exactly supporting it, but out of what I have seen this would make the
most sense for me - it expresses the intent pretty clearly ("give me
int! or else!" :) and does not conflict with existing stuff.
Putting it on the table as a brainstorming exercise.
