However, maybe there is a better option for those that want to be 'more "strict" and "explicit"' (quoting Pascal Martin [2]). Having the option to bail out at any kind of errors (E_NOTICE, E_WARNING,...) might fit that as well. gcc has a similar switch: "-pedantic-errors: Like -Wpedantic, except that errors are produced rather than warnings." This could be easily developed thanks to a configuration switch (off by default) or an "error_reporting"-like bit field instructing on which error level to bail out additionally. By doing so, we would let people opt-in for that kind of behaviour. Thoughts? [1] http://marc.info/?t=142470775700006 [2] http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=142559407125491
