title: Way to verify if variable is a valid GD image resource?
body: <p>I have a class that accepts a GD image resource as one of its arguments. As far as I know, there is no way to type hint this since it is a resource and not an object. Is there a way to validate whether the supplied argument is a valid GD image resource (aside from further functionality using this resource failing)?</p>
  
  <p>PS: Please do not mention ImageMagick in your answer...</p>
