I am worried about this big casting conversion matrix. New rules should 
not be invented, and the following should *always* be equivalent:

	function foo(typehint $var)

vs:

	function foo($var) {
		$var = typehint $var;

In general, I am not in favour of casting typehints, as it would be a 
different behaviour from the hard-check typehints that we already have 
for classes and arrays.

Derick
