Wait ....what? I don't remember an RFC about the behaviour changing.
Did someone ninja commit a change to the language?

Well it sure looks like it:
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/f9724b93f6592d2f77fa9165038a0ba0db3da0c6

This is absolutely a change that needs an RFC. As the change was done
without one, please can it be reverted until an RFC is done?

You are wrong; it allows:

* People who want it to be an exception to convert it to an exception
in their error handler.
* People who want to ignore it can suppress it with the squelch operator.
* People who want to handle it on a case by case basis in their code can do.

This is another case where you are ignoring other people's use-cases,
and imagining that your use-case is the only valid use-case.

But the technical discussion is one that we should have when someone
is proposing this change - not when someone has committed it first and
then is asking for approval.
