We were talking about the case where the argument was even, you must
have missed that part. If the argument is not even, indeed both models
would produce the same error, no difference there. The only difference
in your model vs. dynamic model so far is that you forced the developer
to do manual (int) instead of doing much smarter coercive check on
entrance of foo(). There's no performance improvement in that and
there's reliability decrease.
How is coercive much smarter? Basically what coercive would do is
similar to what the intval(), floatval(), etc... set of functions do
with some type checking on the mix to ensure a value matches some set of
rules.
How casting (int) could be such dangerous thing? Lets take for example
this code:
echo (int) "whats cooking!";
echo intval("whats cooking");
Both statements print 0, so how is casting unsafe???
