\##Usage

It should not happen but sometimes does - you have a method with many different response types, but want to handle it like a pro:

```
$messedUpResponse = $api->getMeSomeChickens(); // returns "Chicken" **or** "Collection" **of** "Chickens" **or** "no" as an error response :-)

$result = new UnknownType($messedUpResponse);

if($result->isCollection()){
    $result->getAsCollection()->sort($sorter);
    ...
}elseif($result->isException){
    throw $result->getAsException();
    ...
}
```

UnknownType can be extended and customized :-)
