What was the reasoning again for not having var be a synonym for public

a notice in PHP5 when there is technically nothing wrong with it.

I personally don't support "forward compatibility" as well. Especially
when talking about a php 4.x tree, which has to be "downward" compatible
as well. Introducing a new synonym allowing to develop "upward"
compatible php code at least breaks this rule. On the other hand I don't
believe that this synonym would help in any way to produce good
perfoming "pre-php5" code.
Why not make PHP5 not complaining about those php4 "var" definitions at
all?
Maybe a new error level for "deprecated" keywords (and function calls)
would be helpful?
