Someone reminded me that TypeExceptions are almost certainly going to be re-used by users for the cases where PHP's type system isn't powerful enough to handle their use cases: function handleFooOrBar($instance) { if(!$instance instanceof Bar && !$lol instanceof Foo) { throw new TypeException('$instance must be either an instance of Bar or Foo'); } ... } Re-using the built-in TypeException for this would be the right thing to do and so it needs to be creatable in userland. cheers Dan
