Hi, Claude! Thank you for the explanation. I now get why aviz does not break BC :) Until now, I was worried that we were missing something important. > That said, https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/16209 is interesting to have, > but not mandatory.

Yes, they are sufficient, but very difficult to work with. Just to check that property is writable from global scope, you have to do `isPublic() && !isReadonly() && !isPrivateSet() && !isProtectedSet() && (!isVirtual() || hasHook(PropertyHookType::Set))`.
