[DC-852] CLONE -Fix returned type value : SQL integers to PHP integers when getting a value from the database.

Hi Jon,

I have a request for you to improve Doctrine. When declaring a column as an integer, it seems that Doctrine returns a string when getting the value of that column. For example, if I have a "status" column, which can take 0, 1 or 2 as its value, Doctrine will return these values as string, which is not really logical and returning the good PHP type is the goal of an ORM. I'm fond of the triple equal symbol to test a value and I did not understand why this did not work at start :

// in my myModel class
class myModel extends Doctrine_Record
{
const STATUS_VALIDATED = 1;

public function isValidated()

{ return self::STATUS_VALIDATED === $this->getStatus(); }

}

That's why getStatus() gives me a string instead of an integer, whereas the column is declared as an integer in my schema. I'm forced to cast myself the returned value of getStatus() in my model.
