They were intended to make things easier, and they do. The price, though,
is that when the default behavior of PHP doesn't suit your needs, you have
to put in additional work in order to achieve what you want. If you stop

conversions, you'd realize that they are one of the main things that make
scripting in PHP so intuitive.
