I don't see this change mentioned at any of the following locations:
- http://php.net/php5news
- http://php.net/migration53
- http://php.net/function.constant
Therefore, it can't be completely bogus. Please explain if this BC break
in 5_3
is intentional. constant('IDONOTEXIST') still returns NULL however, with
E_WARNING instead of E_FATAL.

Hi Mike,
according to manual http://php.net/manual/en/function.constant.php
constant() eturns the value of the constant, or NULL if the constant is
not defined. And this happens with php 5.2 version. With php 5.3 there
is a fatal error and php interpreter stops. There are no words about
fatal error in manual.
