I'm not sure I understand the motivation for throwing a deprecation notice
instead of a warning. In particular, what is the action that will be taken
here in the next major version? I guess we would throw a warning and return
false (instead of 0/1). But is the change of return value from 0/1 to false
really sufficiently worthwhile to go with a deprecation first?
In any case, if you want to go with deprecation, please specify what action
this RFC implies for PHP 8.
