I'm all for finding something more, well, catchy than E_CATCHABLE_ERROR, but if worse comes to worst... ZeevI'm talking about allowing type hints to be trappable by users, without complicating them with exceptions. I'm proposing a new error level,whichbehaves like E_ERROR, except it can be caught using a userland error handler, for those cases where the engine/PHP are in a stable state.This sounds good to me. We talked about this briefly a year or so ago, in reference to being able to convert E_ERROR errors to exceptions in an extension. Right, my current patch allows you do to that for the new "E_CATCHABLE" error. I don't like the name though, so we need to come up with a better one (sorry Zeev :) .
