By default type conversions will just output a warning. You will get
exceptions if you set the U_CONV_ERROR_EXCEPTION flag.

As you know, exceptions were designed to be user-land and not for

integrated into the extensions; and I especially warned of ideas of
integrating them into language constructs such as type hints and
conversions.
I don't have a good solution for this right now, except for adding a
lot of bulk to C extensions and the core and making them overly
complicated. Anyway, I'll discuss with Dmitry and see if he has any
ideas I didn't think of.
re: this specific case. Is it really a good idea for a type conversion
to throw an exception? People won't be expecting that from reading the
code. They'd most likely only expect methods to throw exceptions...
