I do not see a point in soft reserving something we don't even know if
it will make it into 8.x. I mean sure you might work on some of them,
but they should be voted on a case by case basis. We did future
reserve somethings in the past for PHP6, e.g. the "b" string prefix
and the "(binary)" cast (for the then non unicode strings). See:
https://3v4l.org/nFJHb We stopped trying to future proof code by soft
reserving after PHP6 turned out to be nothing and most of the features
were ported to PHP5.3. I don't think we should go down that path again
of soft reserving something before we can guarantee it will be
implemented, something we cannot currently until it is voted in.
