It looks like this is an "always on" feature. There's a PDO attribute, PDO::ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES, that's intended to allow toggling. Since this is a functionality change, I'd suggest supporting it. It'll make it easier for users to migrate if they have any baked-in assumptions around getting strings back. Thanks, Adam
