`Assert::implementsInterface($foo, <Type>)` is incorrectly being translated to `assert($foo instanceof <Type>)`

[Ocramius]

Assert::implementsInterface() works on object|string, not just object, so it should be translated to something like assert($foo instanceof $type || in_array($interface, \class_implements($value))) (see https://3v4l.org/VdIbR).

Not sure what the correct translation (understood by PHPStan) would be.

For reference, this is the current implementation:

phpstan-webmozart-assert/src/Type/WebMozartAssert/AssertTypeSpecifyingExtension.php

Lines 303 to 313 in 97cde39

	'implementsInterface' => function (Scope $scope, Arg $expr, Arg $class): ?\PhpParser\Node\Expr {
	$classType = $scope->getType($class->value);
	if (!$classType instanceof ConstantStringType) {
	return null;
	}
	return new \PhpParser\Node\Expr\Instanceof_(
	$expr->value,
	new \PhpParser\Node\Name($classType->getValue())
	);
	},

Can you tell me some real-world examples of implementsInterface usages? I've seen examples where both arguments are literal strings which doesn't seem very useful.

Currently finding it in something like:

class MyThingFactory
{
    public function make(string $thing)
    {
        Assert::implementsInterface($thing, SomeDto::class);

        // use $thing static API here
    }
}

Note that this is completely removable if I use something like:

class MyThingFactory
{
    /**
     * @template T of SomeDto
     * @param class-string<T> $thing
     */
    public function make(string $thing)
    {
        Assert::implementsInterface($thing, SomeDto::class);

        // use $thing static API here
    }
}

Not sure if that's understood by the tooling yet though

This leads to weird hacks in real projects:
