Hello internals! My name is Andrew and I write php literally since
childhood (something around 10 years),
now PHP - is my profession.
And today once again debugging foreign code, I was ready to go to the
hospital to see a psychiatrist.
First, some of the code:
Do you think that can output this feature?

function test(A $a)
{
var_dump(get_class($a));
}

I always thought that only 'string (1) "A"', I have never been so wrong (c).

The code below will display 'string (1) "B"'

class A {
}

class B {
public $id = 1;
}

set_error_handler(function () {
return true;
});

function test(A $a)
{
var_dump(get_class($a));
}

test(new B());

I think this is very unexpected behavior, and suggest you to consider the
possibility of  removing this behavior in PHP7.

Best regards.
Andrew Kluev.
