Description:
------------
When a class has no parent, ReflectionClass::getParentClass() returns NULL. It would be nice to document this:

http://php.net/manual/en/reflectionclass.getparentclass.php

Expected result:
----------------
public ReflectionClass|null ReflectionClass::getParentClass ( void )

Actual result:
--------------
public ReflectionClass ReflectionClass::getParentClass ( void )
