Description:
------------
In same cases type hinting cause Fatal Error. I think that in one case NullPoinor will be better.

Reproduce code:
---------------
function foo(stdClass $a) {
}
foo(null);

Expected result:
----------------
Exception is thrown

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error

There is no such thing as a NullPointer in PHP.

Yes, I know, but there is Exception.

Is it really need any fatal error if there are exceptions in PHP?
