"Casted" is not a (contemporary, contextually relevant) word

Created on 27 February 2017, over 7 years ago

Problem/Motivation

"Casted" is not a contemporary English word. The past tense is "cast". However, "casted' is used in method names for the Typed Data API (and therefore documentation and parameter names as well).

Proposed resolution

  • Provide new methods for misspelled methods, e.g. PrimitiveInterface::getCastValue() and deprecate the old ones.
  • Rename internal parameters etc. appropriately.
  • Update documentation to refer to "cast" and "uncast" values rather than "casted" and "non-casted".

Remaining tasks
