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
