Probably because there isn't a way to answer that point. Anyone who does would 
be laughed out of the barn. Like I told Sam just few minutes ago, the fact is 
that no matter how wonderful PHP's juggling is, there is still a reason why 
we have different data types. If it was all the same we wouldn't need 
integer, float, et cetera. But we do have them and we do need them.

The whole objection against this feature was never about the technical merits 
of it. It was just simply about some people saying "I don't like it" and thus 
concluding that it should not be added.
