Yes, this isn't totally ideal but is a consequence of how SWIG
implements overloading by type in PHP, which doesn't support such
overloading directly.

Perhaps an integer parameter should accept either an integer or floating
point argument if there are no ambiguous overloads (as here).

I'm glad you've resolved your problem, but as a general tip, please
report code that doesn't work *exactly as you tried it*.  All we have
to go on when you report a problem is the information you give, so if
that isn't correct, it is so much harder to help.

You said you had tried this:

  $enquire->set_cutoff(70);                                                     

If instead you'd said you'd tried it with 70.0, we'd have been able to
resolve your problem right away.

Cheers,
