New Comment:
Ressource and Object typehinting are the only types we probably add in
some future. But we discussed and disagreed to the others already.
There is no need and it actually would contradict the php way where all
variables are casted as needed.

Description:
------------
Currently, only object and array arguments of a function can be hinted.
However, if you can't hint non-class/non-array argument, you have to
leave argument unhinted, which allows passing of class/array besides of
scalar types.
I propose adding new type-hinting keyword 'scalar', which matches
complement to currently possible hints. Think also about 'resource'
hint.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function show ( scalar $string ) {
echo $string;
}
show("hello\n");
show(new stdClass());
?>
Expected result:
----------------
hello
Error...
