Research direction
Read the linked PHP RFC and use null_casts_as_any_type as the entry point to locate the implementation and existing tests. Determine the intended PHP 8.1 behavior for null casts to scalar types, then add coverage showing that the analyzer enforces it; the issue names no files or tests, so the affected locations must first be identified.
