Bug description:Fetch provides only strings with MySQL

Description:

>From manual page: http://www.php.net/pdostatement.fetch
---

With MySQL all those fetch methods provide only strings. All integers in
the table have to be converted manually. This should be noted somewhere.

I didn't know this for long time and I didn't have any problem with this
because of the implicit conversioning in php. I detected it just recently.

I don't understand why PDO behaves like this. This makes the proper usage
of fetchObject('myClass') not possible. Maybe I have a wrong understanding
of how to use php with its implicit conversions. Should I avoid
distinguishing between data types, should all primitive data type
operations work also with strings?

At least I would expect that the documentation clearly states this fact.
But better would be if the correct data types gets used.
