Hi internals,
I'd like to propose the deprecation (in PHP 7.3) and removal (in PHP 8) of
case-insensitive constants:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/case_insensitive_constant_deprecation
This was already discussed some time ago on the list, though that
discussion degenerated into unfortunate directions. I'd very much
appreciate if we could keep discussions on making PHP fully case-sensitive
or fully case-insensitive outside of this thread. (Feel free to open a new
one though.)
The main point I'd like to have feedback on is the handling of true, false
and null, as I'm not sure what the best approach regarding that is.
Regards,
Nikita
