Description:
------------
I'm not sure if this is a bug, but when I was developing a wrapper for xml document, I ran into strange behavior when casting types in the return value of the method. I expect that the asInt() method will work just like the directConversion(), but they work differently.

Test script:
---------------
https://3v4l.org/JnFCh

Expected result:
----------------
string(3) "123"
int(123)
int(123)
int(123)

Actual result:
--------------
string(3) "123"
int(123)
int(123)

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Return value of Parser::asInt() must be of the type integer, object returned in /in/JnFCh:22
Stack trace:
#0 /in/JnFCh(44): Parser->asInt()
#1 {main}
  thrown in /in/JnFCh on line 22

Simplified reproducer: <https://3v4l.org/UeRYn>. Argument type
declarations exhibit the same behavior: <https://3v4l.org/ROpEJ>.

The documentation states[1], however:

> By default, PHP will coerce values of the wrong type into the
> expected scalar type if possible.

At least this would need clarification wrt. objects implementing
::__toString().
