The manual already says what is allowed:
*"Parameters: array_or_countable An array or Countable object."*
Under the "Return Values" section there is sentence about the current
implementation:
*"If the parameter is not an array or not an object with implemented
Countable interface, 1 will be returned. There is one exception, if
array_or_countable is NULL, 0 will be returned."*
I suggest we extend the "Return Values" section to say that a warning is
raised, but I don't see any need to change the manual beyond that.
Unless I have misunderstood you?
