This looks lovely. Since only int, float, and string can ever be true, does it make sense to type the function parameters as `int|float|string` rather than `mixed`, to automatically exclude arrays, objects, and null? (All of which would always be false.) (I could probably argue either way on it, but my first inclination is yes; push the initial validation upstream. You should always know if a variable is a primitive or not, at the very least.) --Larry Garfield
