Description:
------------
Hi, when you want to set an hard pypage in a function to test if you
have a string/integer/float

The result of var_dump will be float(123) and not a typage error !!!

Test script:
---------------
function test (float $element)
{
    var_dump($element);
}

test('123');
die;

Expected result:
----------------
Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to test() must be an instance
of float, instance of string given

Actual result:
--------------
float(123)
