Which reminds me that we still have no way to do that in userland.
In userland you cannot write:
function foo(Object $bla = NULL).
The missing part is 'Object' as a type hint. I once long ago suggested
using 'class' as in 'any class member'. But people felt it wouldn't be
self explanatory enough. And unfortunately we cannot use 'Object' for
obvious reasons. We simply cannot turn that into a reserved word not
can we expect no one to have a class named Object already.
So my suggestion holds: Let's add type hint 'class' to allow hints for
objects.

This is my test code:
---- snip ----
<?php
class PropertyReflection extends ReflectionProperty {
public function getValue(stdclass $object) {}
}
?>
Use public function getValue($object = null) {} instead.

I don't think having a Object class built in is such a big issue with namespaces around. Anyone using object type-hinting should have a clue.
