It does not. The reason is technical: intval is implemented differently than
base_convert and *dec. intval uses libc strtol, whereas the other function do
the parsing themselves. It should probably be more strict and also throw an
exception, but that is not part of this RFC.
I thought it was pretty clear that intval was not affected. Both the RFC and
the top email of this thread give a list of affected functions, which does not
include intval:

The RFC also says explicitly that intval is not affected:

> `intval()`, etc.) are currently unaffected by this change.
