Dear Internals,
Since the resignation of Andrea, the mixed-mode type hint (called
declaration in the proposal) proposal has been left abandoned.
Considering that the ending votes were 67/34 (66.3%) with several
no-votes being only due to reasonably minor issues with the proposal,
I would like to re-propose her RFC with three minor modifications:
1. declare(strict_types=1) (if used) is required to be the first
instruction in the file only. No other usages allowed.
2. declare(strict_types=1) {} (block mode) is specifically disallowed.
3. int typed variables can resolve a parameter type of float So
calling requiresAFloat(10) will work even in strict mode.
As this topic has and is being discussed to death, I have put a very
large "discussion points" section:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/scalar_type_hints_v5#discussion_points
I would kindly ask, before replying that you check to see if your
question is answered in that list.
If it is not, please follow up here and I will update the RFC.
If your question is listed and you feel that it wasn't given proper
due, please let's discuss that.

Considering this proposal is a minor tweak on an already-discussed and
voted-on proposal, I plan on bringing this RFC to vote 1 week from
today (on February 25th, 2015).
Thanks,
Anthony
