Hi!
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/parameter_type_casting_hints
Just took a look on it - the syntax proposed there is quite ugly and
rather confusing, I really wouldn't like to have such syntax in PHP.
Also "(int) $foo = “1” will generate an E_COMPILE_ERROR" makes no sense
to me.
Also, this line:
function test((int) $intParam, (string) $strParam = "foo", (array)
$array) {}
is not proper PHP code - it contains optional parameter and then
parameter with no default.
And can we please stop using word "hinting"?
We can call it type conversion, typecasting, type coercion, etc.

But I don't see how there's any hinting involved.
