This leaves us in a state where some functions will have defined types
with their aggressive coersion rules and some will not, and we can't
expect users to remember which set of functions have been updated or
not.
That's precisely the case for every existing user-defined function.
Switching to PHP 7 won't suddenly add type hints to every function in
every library and every existing bespoke code base, so there is no way
to avoid that thought process.
I think the rules need to apply to everything or nothing.
The rules will apply to everything in the same way - if a function is
typehinted, it behaves like so; if it's not, it behaves the same way it
did in PHP 5.
