True, but the result is the same. The new functions/classes can't be
used (only some rare additions can be efficiently emulated in user
land).
Yes, but you still have option of working around it. Right now we don't have an option to work around new syntax. I hate to rain on your parade, because I think this functionality is good and would have a lot of good uses, but I'm worried about creating code that runs in one 5.x and can't be even compiled by another. There can be a lot of problems with external tools, too.
