Hi,

I wonder if it is intended behavior, that execution stops
when PHP stumbles across something like the following:

===#===
function doSth(Foo $Foo) {
	if (!isset($Foo)) return;
	// ...
}
doSth(null);
===#===
PHP Fatal Error: Argument 1 must not be null at ... on line 2

Is there *ANY* serious reason why NULL is not allowed in place
of an object?  PHP will become *really* odd if this is the way
it goes. People won't stick to this new feature...

Also, these errors are hard to track because they refer to
the line number where the function definition is, not where 
the actual violation was comitted.

Regards,
