As a PHP developer I am frankly disappointed you think that we only do that with strings. I've got an array[1] full of other tools.

1. Or maybe a map? Those keys might have significance I didn't tell you about.



I originally typed out `int` and wanted to do more, but I try to keep my comments as targeted as possible to avoid the common reply pattern of derailing a topic by commenting on the smallest and least important part of it. If I type `string`, `int`, `arrays`, `maps`, `enums`... someone will write 3 paragraphs about enums are actually an adequate usage of the type system, and everyone will focus on that instead of the overarching message.
