I think this isn't preferable behavior. Maybe, with your patch BC is conserved in the most
strict sense, but it's not the least confusing way when using this feature, I think.

I've attached a patch that restores BC in the (very common) case when count() is called without
arguments, so that Countable::count() is called rather than Countable::count(0).
It's not a big deal, but the BC break might break the application tests that expect a call
without parameters. This would avoid having to do check for PHP 5.6 in such tests.
