For the RFC https://wiki.php.net/rfc/scalar_type_hints_v5
that is on
the edge of passing there will be no effects on BC for code, except
for the fact that int/string etc are now reserved words.
There may be other issues upgrading to 7 caused by other RFCs - but
that scalar type hints proposal does not cause any issues.
