I read it as if it was declare() ;)
I agree with Pierre that the best way to handle BC break is not to
introduce it, but since that's not always 100% possible, this may
make sense. Of course, it'll only work with stuff that is
syntax-compliant with the currently running PHP version, but that
covers most BC breakage.

actaully it should have been declare() - as I think the syntax for that
almost works already, but yes, code doesnt get compiled if it's inside a
block.
