Approaches:

  1. NULL triggers a Fatal Error with strict_types=1, otherwise use coercion (like how integers can be coerced to a string)
  2. NULL triggers a Fatal Error for everyone, but update some parameters to explicitly allow NULL (e.g. `?string`)
  3. NULL triggers a Fatal Error for everyone (forget about backwards compatibility)
  4. Don't Mind
