Re: Deprecation of the Error Control Operator (@ symbol)

I am -1 on removing @ for 7.x series. But, I would be in favor of all changes that remove unnecessary error messages or add functionality to better work with error messages. In my mind, those are requisite steps before removing @.

I agree here. It'd be nice if we could somehow catch errors in the same way we can with exception, but we don't have this just now. Problem is a I can't think of a non-messy way to make this work, at least not without going through every PHP extension and adding an identifier for different errors. One improvement, though, might be an @ equivalent that only silences a certain level of error. It's still too broad, but it's nonetheless better than the silence-all we have now.
