Perhaps (I think it's more difficult than you think but perhaps I'm missing something); Either way, it's the wrong way to do it IMHO regardless. Having this as either a notice or a special E_CAST has no meaningful drawbacks, only advantages, and will also enable us to implement these warnings in regular casts for even greater consistency (a recoverable error is out of the question for those, of course, as it's a huge BC break).
