Not really fussed about having another implicit interface for serialization (via magic methods). Wouldn't a new interface make this clear, explicit, and make the deprecation path easier (together with the migration)?
How important is the following statement from the RFC regarding magic methods vs Interfaces? - "Using an interface instead requires either raising the version requirement to PHP 7.4, or dealing with the definition of a stub interface in a compatible manner." Sounds like it would be easier to implement this feature in code/libraries targeting 7.x versions. r//Björn Larsson
