PHP Bug Type:     Documentation problem
Bug description:  instanceof documentation & inheritance

Description:
------------
The documentation for the instanceof operator in the manual does not
authoritatively say that the operator checks parent classes and interfaces
as well as the base clase, i.e.

class A { }
class B extends A { } 

$thing = new B;


if ($thing instanceof A) { 
    echo 'A'; 
}
if ($thing instanceof B) {
    echo 'B';
}
// result: AB
?>
