I still remember the days, wrote a lot of assembler as a kid ;-)

Had the same thoughts.
In the Trac we have several other ideas for changing or adding the way
the type system works (support for arrays, booleans, dates etc.).
I think we should make all these changes configurable and the default
setting backward compatible in the 5.x versions. This would allow us to
add them one by one in 5.x sub-releases without breaking anything for
the users. When enough substantial changes have been accumulated, we can
call it 6.x, and change the defaults to something more reasonable/modern
in that version.
So following this strategy, we should leave the default for now.
