When the return statement of a class method has the function 'isset' as its outermost layer, 'generate element comment' throws the exception.

Presumably there's something missing that prevents eclipse from determining the return type of the function 'isset' - see workaround below

Bottom of exception stack is 
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.php.ui.CodeGeneration.getMethodComment(CodeGeneration.java:385)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to "generate element comment" for method 'doSomething' in the following examples:

1.

class A {
public function doSomething() {
$a=1;
return isset($a);
}
}
2.

class A {
public function doSomething() {
$a=1;
return (bool) isset($a);
}
}
3.

class A {
public function doSomething() {
$a=1;
return is_int($a);
}
}

Expected results:
- all examples generate an element comment

Actual results:
- Examples 2 & 3 generate the comment
- Example 1 fails with the exception described

Workaround:
- prefix the 'isset' with '(bool)' or '!!' and generate the comment.
