Yeah, for abstract classes the checks are fine and there won't be any compliance problems. > c) Add a new INI option (zend.strict_inheritance_checks) which does check > signature for methods (except for constructor). I don't like new INI > options but I don't think there's any way out. Me neither, worse luck. But we should name the option something like zend.legacy_compat for other potential compliance problems like cloning. (At the time of writing i see Stephane Drouard made a similalar suggestion). This option needs to be set by default, but we should make clear that it won't be default for ever. > > Comments?
