I'm beginning to think that the type hinting question is too closely related to 
the dirty secrets of type juggling to resolve them separately. You may have to 
either discard consistency, or else fix the problem of silent bizarre 
conversions at the same time ('foo'==0, '123abc'=123). Fixing the conversions 
is a BC break though.
