-This function would differ from gettype in that it would return native type namese.g. "int" rather than "integer" and would automatically resolve class names.+This is to replace the following patternwhich may be used to generate debugging messages when dealing with types which cannot be handled by existing PHP runtime checking based on parameter types, such as those coming from an array.
  
-=> int +<code php> 
-0.1 => float +$bar $arr['key']; 
-true => bool +if (!($bar instanceof Foo)) {  
-false => bool +  // this shows the most simple of patterns, to get the real type an assoc array 
-"hello" => string +  // must be present to convert long-form "integer" into int etc. 
-[] => array +  throw new TypeError('Expected ' . Foo::class . ' got ' . (is_object($bar) ? get_class($bar) : gettype($bar))); 
-null => null +
-A class with name "Foo\Bar" => foo\bar + 
-An anonymous class => class@anonymous +// would become
