Description:
------------
for:
<?php
debug_zval_dump(1);
var_dump(1);
?>

debug_zval_dump prints long(1), 

bug var_dump prints int(1)

maybe they should print the same for consistent?

Test script:
---------------
<?php
debug_zval_dump(1);
var_dump(1);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
long(1)
long(1)

or 

int(1)
int(1)

Actual result:
--------------
long(1)
int(1)

+1 for consistency.
"int" is preferred because PHP shouldn't care size of integer. One day, we may have arbitrarily size of integer.

I'm not sure. debug_zval_dump() should show whether it is a long or a bigint, whenever we introduce them… Such internal differences is exactly what this function is good for.

There's no long usage anymore, it's abstracted to int64_t or int32_t which can be whatever, fe long long. That has no relation to the internal happening anymore. But int (and/or bigint later) sounds consistent with the user land.

Thanks.
