Greetings,
I offer a short RFC to add a new function, get_debug_type, which would
return the type name of a variable, automatically resolving the class
name in the event of it being an object.
Unlike gettype, this function will return the true name of scalar
types, rather than their aliases, thus

Why "debug" type?
I would imagine because it is only really useful in the context of
debugging. There is no reason to ever expose such information to userland.
The name is up for debate.

JMTCW but I generally think names should describe what something is, not what
it can be used

I'd definitely agree on returning `int` instead of `integer`.
PHP allows both `class integer` and `class resource`, so `int` (plus
documenting exact return values for examples, as Nikita mentioned) would be
useful to prevent ambiguity.
Also, it'd be nice to have `null` return the lowercase stri
Hi Mark
Thanks for this proposal.
After the proposal by Nikita to allow ::class on object variables,
would it be opportune to add ::type for any variable, with this
behavior?
It could behave like ::class on objects and return a string indicator
of the type for other types, such as scalar on

Can you please add some examples for the behavior? Preferably the precise
