That's a good point, and something that was initially (and technically still) experimental. I don't know what the usage stats are like, as we don't collect any metrics on PIE side, but it's definitely getting some usage. Perhaps we should start promoting that a little more, and remove the "experimental" flag, as it does indeed help that pre-PHP 8.1 issue. I'll add a note to that effect, thank you! Thanks James
