The primary place for this imo should be reflection. If there is high
demand we could also add a shortcut function like proposed (no strong
opinion on this either way from my side)

Of course I notice that the current reflection can't cover all the
cases you want to cover, so maybe it might be interesting to extend
reflection with something which works on all variables/zval and wraps
all the is_* functions.
