I care zero about the theoretical BC impact. I have no idea why it doesn't do so. I'll try to dig up when it was made so and see if there's some explanation. > * Make gettype() return 'resource (unknown type)' instead of just > 'unknown type' for closed resources. This makes the output clear while > still leaving the closed resource distinction. That makes total sense. And BC impact is rather minimal given that closed resources are useless. > * Normalize error message.
