Bug description:Find out about a function's call context
Description:
------------
I would like to be able to tell if a function was called from a context
that is expecting a return value or not. Additionally what type is
expected.
eg('hello'); // called not expecting a return value
echo eg('hello').' world'; // called expecting a string
function eg($s)
{
if(return){ // suggested overloading of the return keyword to report the
function context.
return ($s);
}
else{
echo $s;
}
}
Additionally
gettype(return);
and
is_string(return);
is_array(return);
etc
