I think that is a fault in the examples. I have never seen @ used to squash these messages, but have
frequently worked with codebases where logging at the E_NOTICE level would have filled megabytes of
log file in minutes.
As I said earlier, the fact that something is bad practice doesn't stop it being difficult to
locate and change. The requests for a deprecation period, or an opt-in mode, are about that change,
not a disagreement about the principle.
