In all other parts of the engine hexadecimal strings are not recognized

var_dump((int) '0x7b'); // int(0)
I personally would rather change the type-conversion for strings to
integer ...
At least if you force it to do a type-cast (in other words: forcing to
get any valuable integer of that string) ...
I think that would be an error. As was mentioned a few months ago when 0b
was introduced, no other number format has this behavior. You can't do
"123" == "0b10" or "123" == "0876". Extending this hexadecimal oddity
instead of eliminating it is inconsistent with the treatment given to
those other formats.
