What changes is the interface of the

I understand what you mean, I just disagree that it constitutes a BC break
in the sense that no existing code would break/misbehave by simply updating
to a PHP version including the feature.
That's just the only sane criteria by which to label changes as BC breaks,
because if we don't stick to that, there'd be an argument to be made that
literally every change is. And that would mean the term loses its meaning
and becomes useless.
Cheers,
