Good finding. We should not rely on class_exists (but have to atm). We 
can exclude DateTime from this (hardcoded) but we can not assure that 
there won't be any "new" native PHP classes indication a plain type.

There are some other places in Extbase (like the PropertyMapper) where 
we rely on this information, too.
