While I don't know how common such a usage is I'm certain that there
is a use case for it. However, just modifying a subset of the is_*
functions sounds like a bad idea. If such a change is applied it
should be done to all type related is_* functions and be  similar to
issets behavior (return false if at least one argument is not of the
given type).

Thanks,
