Yes, that is bad. Perhaps a smaller change would give you the desired
behaviour though?
If we just give a warning/error if any non-object type is passed as
the parameter, that would achieve what you want wouldn't it? And it
provides a slightly easier 'upgrade' path for people who, for whatever
reason, are currently passing null to it.

The first two can't be used directly as a callable, and so can't be
passed around as a function. And get_called_class() returns the late
static binding class.
So if the smaller change of just giving a warning/error on any
non-object as a parameter gives the desired result, I would recommend
doing just that. It might even be possible to do it as a bug fix...

## Refactoring if non-objects are no longer allowed.
Current code:
echo get_class($result);
Would need to be changed to:
if ($result === null) {
echo get_class();
}
else {
echo get_class($result);
}
## get_called_class is late static binding.
class foo {
static function bar() {
//return $fn(null);
echo get_class()."\n";
echo get_called_class()."\n";
}
}
class Quux extends foo { }
Quux::bar();
// Output is:
// foo
// Quux
## Callables can passed around
class foo {
public static function bar(callable $fn) {
return $fn();
}
}
echo foo::bar('get_class');
