Bug description:  Type hint error completely useless

Description:
------------
When you have a type-hint error (ie: you pass an incompatible object to a
function with a type hint), the error message is completely useless. It
tells you where the function with the type hint is defined; it *should*
tell you where you tried to pass the invalid object.

Logically, this makes sense. If I pass an object that doesn't fit the type
hint, it's not the function that's at fault; it's mine.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class x
{
}
class y
{
}
function func(x $x)
{
return;
}
func(new y());
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Fatal error: Argument 1 must be an instance of x in
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test.php5 on line 12

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Argument 1 must be an instance of x in
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test.php5 on line 8
