Huh? There’s no type promotion from a userland perspective, it’s entirely an 
implementation detail. Yes, some integers may be IS_LONG and others may be 
IS_BIGINT internally, but that’s only for Zend Engine 3 (might change in 
future), the boundary point varies by platform, and crucially, you can’t 
distinguish them from userland.
