Usage

class FooBar
{
    private $inherited_int   = 123;
    private $inherited_array = array('string');
}

class Bar extends FooBar
{
    private $inherited_float = 0.22;
    private $inherited_bool  = true;
}

class Foo extends Bar
{
    private $string = 'string';
    protected $int  = 10;
    public $array   = array(
        'foo'   => 'bar'
    );
    protected static $bool = false;
}

$string   = 'Foobar';
$array    = array('foo', 'bar');
$int      = 327626;
$double   = 22.223;
$null     = null;
$bool     = true;
$resource = fopen('LICENSE', 'r');
$m        = microtime(true);

new Dump(new Foo, $string, $array, $int, $double, $null, $bool, array(
    'foo' => 'bar',
    'bar' => 'foo',
    array(
        'foo' => 'foobar',
        'bar_foo',
        2 => 'foo',
        'foo' => array(

            'foofoo' => false,
            'foobar' => null,

        )
    )
), $resource);

new Dump(1 == '1', 1 === '1');
