Cast Is So StrongΒΆ
The code below yields a Fatal Error, at linting time. PHP identifies too early the cast operator (int), and fail to recognize the function call to var_dump().
It is possible to create a constant called int, but it is not possible to put it between parenthesis, including with spaces. PHP always confuse it with the cast operator.
Later, bool, float, string, array, object all fail to parse for the same reasons. It is also the case for unset, although this operator is not supported anymore. It is also the case for boolean, and integer, although PHP complains about the short name of the operator.
This issue has been with PHP since PHP 4.
