Description:
------------
Strict type declarations are not enforced when a function or method is invoked via the Reflection API.

The test script generates the same result with PHP 7.0.25-dev (f48abfa9022c026c2447b14bc03c978d2b831b27), 7.1.11-dev (d8881f4eb4ec138db00d5fcf0b27a64f8986cd85), PHP 7.2.0-dev (611d117b24b58544ef69390cfe44166ba606b0ab), and PHP 7.3.0-dev (39ded1d5f85ca3358cc8a52bb37e72a5eb5ce0db).

Test script:
---------------
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

function f(bool $a)
{
    var_dump($a);
}

$f = new ReflectionFunction('f');
$f->invokeArgs([1]); // or $f->invoke(1);

Expected result:
----------------
TypeError exception because int(1) does not match bool.

Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
