Comment(by hakre):

 I've just re-read the patches and some of the comments and I must admit
 that I'm not confident with my older suggestion any longer. I tend to say
 that this is a workflow issue and we should check that only intended types
 are passed to the function, namely strings.

 For arrays and objects we could offer new functions in which their name
 reflects for what they are and we can more strictly define in their
 docblock what they do. So other developers won't miss actual features
 (they can switch to the new functions in case they need) and we get the
 concerns seperated so this is not over-generalized.
