No bug here.
Only arrays and classes can be used for typehinting.

Description:
------------
See above. Maybe there are als osome other variable types that doesn't
work. Actually I only see that Classes and Arrays work.
Anyway, llive could be easier if I wouldn't need to tell every function
to check for incoming variable types ;)
Reproduce code:
---------------
class Tasty {
function mustBeArray(Array $test) {
echo "Tasty::mustBeArray\n";
return true;
}
function mustBeString(String $str) {
print("Tasty::mustBeString\n");
}
function testType($type){
print("Tasty::testType\n");
print(gettype($type)."\n");
}
}
$t = new Tasty();
$t->mustBeArray(Array(1,2));
$t->testType((String)'test');
$t->mustBeString((String)'test'); // doesn't work
Expected result:
----------------
OUTPUT:
Tasty::mustBeArray
Tasty::testType
string
Tasey::mustBeString
Actual result:
--------------
OUTPUT:
Tasty::mustBeArray
Tasty::testType
string
Fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Tasty::mustBeString() must be an
object of class String
