Re: [RFC] Undefined Variable Error Promotion

Hey Mark, For me, there's a fundamental shortcoming of this proposal: - You cannot opt out. Currently, as you describe in your RFC, it is perfectly possible, to opt into making this category of errors fail hard (throw an exception in an error handler). However, should your RFC pass, it is not possible to say "hey, I generally consider this a low impact class of errors, please try to continue". As such, given that PHP is meant to appeal to a broad class of use cases, I am strongly against this change as proposed.
