Description:
------------
Since development versions of PHP 7.0 TypeException was thrown, from alpha2 TypeError replaced it. Unfortunately none of them extends Exception - is there any reason for that?
It could introduce a lot of incompatibility - a lot of code catches some specific exceptions and at the end catches Exception. Good example of that is phpUnit - under PHP 7.0 is impossible to use setExpectedException() with TypeError because it doesn't extend Exception.

Test script:

Take a look at https://wiki.php.net/rfc/throwable-interface. Additionally,
- Existing catch(Exception $e) code will continue to not catch errors
- Exception vs Error presents a clear separation between exceptions and errors

To catch everything, simply catch BaseException (alpha1) or Throwable (alpha2).
