Agreed. Must be modified. Even for 7.0 if it can be approved before freeze. All is_xxx functions must be checked and made more permissive on input arg (most, if not all, should probably accept any zval, minor BC break). > Imho the problem is that the return values of php internal functions being > string|false will lead to massive consecutive errors when passing this on > to other internal unctions. Right. A side effect of the RFC is to encourage for an explicit check of false. May I say that this won't exactly lead to 'errors', as we are just deprecating usage of the implicit cast in such case. So it may lead to massive 'deprecated' messages but, apart from additional messages, behavior won't change.
