I, and lots of people, need to worry about it. I write code that uses
PHP. Much of it is for general public consumption. Some is for sale at
significant cost. I have to write stuff once and have it work anywhere.
The proposed behavior of having error handlers called only when the
reporting bitmask is met is great. Makes things better in PHP 5 and
doesn't have real negative impacts for code written expecting PHP 4's
behavior.
Adding an optional argument has the worst of both worlds. In order to
take advantage of it, one must lock your code into PHP 5.
