Has to be string or int or boolean or float or other "scalar" type.

No.
"mixed" just means it's 2 or more types.
There could be all kinda of reasons/cases where "mixed" means only
scalars, or only compound types or, really, any 2 types you'd care to
choose.
So, why isn't such stuff in the manual?
Post a documentation patch/bug/feature request in http://bugs.php.net :)
I have updated the (english) php-documentation to explicitly state that
only scalar values are allowed.
