function allowingNULL(object $val = NULL) function preventNULL(object $val)

I like this idea even though it's abusing the default value syntax. What's a bit weird is something like function foo(object $obj = NULL, $mandatoryparameter) { ... } where people will wonder why there is a default value even though they can't omit the parameter really. But personally I could live with that. - Chris
