Complex classes like Kint_Object often do a lot of different things. To break such a class down, we need to identify a cohesive component within that class. A common approach to find such a component is to look for fields/methods that share the same prefixes, or suffixes. You can also have a look at the cohesion graph to spot any un-connected, or weakly-connected components.
Once you have determined the fields that belong together, you can apply the Extract Class refactoring. If the component makes sense as a sub-class, Extract Subclass is also a candidate, and is often faster.
While breaking up the class, it is a good idea to analyze how other classes use Kint_Object, and based on these observations, apply Extract Interface, too.

Our type inference engine in quite powerful, but sometimes the code does not provide enough clues to go by. In these cases we request you to add a
@returnannotation as described here.
