What is the use case for `int|float`? I mean, if f is able to process a `float` than f is able to process an `int` and since `int` is already automatically changed to a `float`, well, you're done
just read the mass of bugreports caused by float answered with the default paragraph below and you know why you don't want your int-values silently converted to a float
7 may become to 7.000000000000000001 or something similar and "$x === 7" may also fail wile the argument was int 7
________________________ Floating point values have a limited precision. Hence a value might not have the same string representation after any processing. That also includes writing a floating point value in your script and directly printing it without any mathematical operations.
