With or without the () I'd expect 'int' in an arglist to be
type-hinting, not type-casting, as that's how most other languages
work...
Not saying it couldn't be done, just that it would require a mental
adjustment.
And, of course, for now:
function foo ($x, $y){
$x = (int) $x;
$y = (int) $y;
}
Not that big a deal, it seems to me, to get the type coercion.
Type-hinting is far more complex to achieve in UserLand code...
