Description:
------------
I've got strange error:

Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to omg::lol() must be an instance of integer, integer given

When I've replaced "integer" to "int", I've got:

Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to omg::lol() must be an instance of int, integer given

Test script:
---------------
class omg{
	public static function lol(integer $A){
		return true;	
	}
}
echo omg::lol(123);

Expected result:
----------------
calling the method
--
captain obvious

Actual result:
--------------
Catchable fatal error

PHP does not have scalar type hints. 

   public static function lol(integer $A)

That says that you want $A to be an instance of Class integer. That's completely 
distinct from the scalar integer type.

Try this:

class integer { }

class omg{
	public static function lol(integer $A){
		return true;	
	}
}
echo omg::lol(new integer);
