IT will break the code from everybody who doesn'T expect such a flag
exists and the average application user won't know and jsut see errors
which "randomly" occur.
Erm, how is that going to happen?
This is basically a tighter setting that can *optionally* be used and should *always* be used in development. It would be documented loud and clear in the PHP manual, where people go to find out about new/different-from-Java language elements. There's a *possible* slowdown and *possible* conflicts if you never use it, but the people most likely to never use it are those least likely to be loading lots of third-party OO code in the first place.
No ini settings for basic behavior.
Ah well we might as well throw out E_STRICT too!
