Description:
------------
The instanceof operator documentation does not simply state whether $a in the phrase "$a instanceof $b" can be a string. It is stated that $b can be string however.

In fact none of the operators have any syntax documentation. I'd be glad to contribute by documenting the operators.

It would be something along the lines of: object instanceof mixed.

"instanceof is used to determine whether a PHP variable is an instantiated object of a certain class". So $a must be variable.
