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.
