Hi!
any mistmatch results in an error
An error that is recoverable. So not only is the "strict typing"
optional, but "type mismatches" can be caught and handled.
Unfortunately, PHP doesn't have good means to handle such kind of
errors. Global "shut up" handler is not a good means, as it disables the
whole protection, effectively forcing third-party code to work with
variable it wasn't written to handle, and you have no means of
separating OK and not OK cases. And on top of that, even silent errors
are still very expensive in PHP.
