False Positive: It’s not safe to use "===" here: $bool == 'string'

Language level	PHP 8.0

Current behaviour

When using == or != to compare a boolean with a string, it says that you can safely use ===. However, PHP will cast a string to a bool, and then do the comparison, so "" -> false, and "anything" -> true.

Expected behaviour

Suggestion should be to Please consider using more strict '===' here (hidden types casting will not be applied anymore).
