Split a scalar typehints RFC in several smaller RFCs, problems, questions,
discussions?
- Should PHP support scalar type hints?
- What are the advantages of the typehints for objects?
- What are the advantages of strict/weak types?
- Be aware of the type handling of internal functions:
- float silently converted to int
str_repeat ( string $input , int $multiplier )
echo str_repeat('a', 3.7);
