That's exactly the reason for using the Extended Reflection API of InstantSVC,
which is underlying the CodeAnalyzer and makes use of phpDoc annotations. Thus
phpCallGraph already has the information about parameter and return types. I
just didn't have the time to start using it.

The Extended Reflection API currently in the process of being contributed to eZ
Components. One of the next releases will start to be directly linked against
the latest ezcReflection component.

This could be a nice additional feature for the reflection component. Do you
have concrete ideas how such a file should look like?
