Are there any contexts where php doesn't already attempt to convert a
variable to the required type?

The one sticky thing I can think of is ===, and I think it's fine to say
that it'll fail in that case:

if ($object == false

would do the type conversion (using __boolean_value if it was defined),
whereas:

if ($object === false)

would fail.
