So have a patch on your directory as you published it, for those few for

    Could you explain to me how a completely optional change
    which people need to enable explicitly can break PHP?

Abstracting the scanner interface, and putting it into PHP, breaks the whole structure of PHP.  Would it work?  Of course, I trust you tested it.  A lot of things that would work are things that are wrong, and that break PHP, from a structural point of view.
