Yes, I noticed later it's PHP 6, but it does not change a thing - it's
still totally unnecessary BC break for the sake of meaningless purism.
It adds nothing to the language or functionality and would break a lot
of code. It should be fixed to be compatible with previous versions.
I have to agree, it is purely a cosmetic change. "Renaming" the
argument can make the purists happier.
However, as a counter argument, a quick search in codesearch/koders
show that very few people rely on this behavior.
I don't think the number of people relying on this behaviour changes the fact
that it's a BC break.
