Actually I would say, that especially, if targeting PHP prior to 5.1, it 
is a good approach, to keep class names as scalar references (strings), 
and not as references handled by PHP.

That's according to http://us.php.net/instanceof Example #7. :-)

And as others pointed out - any case would work.
But that's more of an example - it still needs more of a decision, than 
patch, as I understand.
