Well, all I was saying was that you'd never hardcode such thing, it
could happen with dynamic user input, but in that case you'd have a
string, and not null. Anyway as always with PHP there's probably a
couple guys somewhere in the world that did it in a way that BC will
break for them.
I just think it's awkward to deny this feature for a possible edge
case in which BC would be broken, while in other instances BC is
broken in bigger ways, sometimes by accident, and sometimes in minor
versions too.
