Actually, I don't call this intended. This is just as much as a BC break as the original implementation where Errors where also Exceptions. IMO, set_exception_handler() should be changed - with my preference it not capturing Error, and instead have an additional set_throwable_handler().

What's the plan for set_exception_handler() regarding Throwables? Seeing as we're now in the RC release phase I think this bone of contention should be resolved one way or another as soon as we can. Yes, a "global" function that behaves differently between PHP 5 & 7 is not optimal in

my view. I'm also wondering how to make one handler managing two different type of situations. @ircmaxwell described it in *Core functions throwing exceptions in PHP7*: "Errors signify programmer error, where Exceptions signify unknown or runtime errors. Meaning that an Error should always be a problem with your code, but an Exception could be a systems problem, a user problem or a problem in your code." /Cheers //Björn Larsson/ PS A bit new to this list but hope to have contributed a little :)
