n, you can use something like the following
pattern:
class MyClass

Then you have a MyClass "cast" or type assertion via:
$x = MyClass::cast($x); // this will throw if $x is not an instanceof MyClass

the interpreter should be in a very predictable state, and quite capable of
continuing if the user's script requests it.
This error is a much better match for the description of E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR
from the same page: "a probably dangerous error occurr
