Bug description:Traits cannot be used as function/method typehints

Description:
------------
It is not possible to use trait as a typehint in function declaration.

Use case: Extending few different classes to use a trait in them where
these classes doesn't have same parent. Then I want to specify typehint,
because I require some methods which are declared by that trait.

Test script:
---------------
trait Foo
{}

class Bar {
        use Foo;
}

function test(Foo $obj) {
        echo 'hello';
}

test(new Bar);

Expected result:
----------------
hello

Actual result:
--------------
Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to test() must be an instance of
Foo, instance of Bar given...
