The bug #33643 is not what I can call "shooting in my own foot".I'd call that precisely that, I had this happen in my own code a few times, but looking at the code logically what was being done was clearly wrong.
There were cases were I fully agree to break BC, but this one and its pairs, not. I agree that it's nice to solve this problem, my point here is we fix a Zend bug by removing some facilities in the langage. I only hope that we will allow that again in future versions.In this case the "facility" was implementing, poorly might I add a handler for a clearly incorrect behavior. Removing it was not only appropriate but necessary to encourage proper code being written. Ilia
