 Unify the various numeric string modes into a single concept: Numeric characters only with both leading and trailing whitespace allowed. Any other type of string is non-numeric and will throw <php>TypeError</php>s when used in a numeric context. Unify the various numeric string modes into a single concept: Numeric characters only with both leading and trailing whitespace allowed.

 One exception to this are type declarations as they only accept proper numeric strings, thus some <php>E_NOTICE</php> will result in a <php>TypeError</php>. See below for an example. One exception to this are type declarations as they only accept proper numeric strings, thus some <php>E_NOTICE</php> will result in a <php>TypeError</php>.

-===== Proposed Voting Choices ===== +===== Vote ===== 
-Per the Voting RFC, there would be a single Yes/No vote requiring a 2/3 majority for the main proposal. A secondary Yes/No vote requiring a 50%+1 majority will decide whether float strings used as string offsets should continue to produce a warning (with different wording) instead of consistently becoming a TypeError.+Per the Voting RFC, there is a single Yes/No vote requiring a 2/3 majority for the main proposal.
