God, that's such a PHP thing to do.  And not in a good way...

I get the argument against this RFC on the grounds that it's a
half-measure, but on the other hand, we all know what happened to our
full-measure solution.  And that bit of history is why I actually like
this as a small, simple, and practical step forward.  That's a very
PHP thing to do, in a good way.
