I guess DbC will not prevent users from abusing type hints, though.
They'll only "abuse" them in exactly the same way they currently "abuse" existing checks and casts.
e.g. $id = intval($_GET['id']); looks perfectly reasonable to most people, but if you want to use a 64-bit ID on a 32-bit system, you will consider that a bug. If someone uses an int typehint for the same purpose then it is, equally, a bug.
The result of one will probably be retrieving the wrong data, and thus potential leak or corruption; the result of the other will probably be a fatal error, which at least stops the broken code in its tracks.
