Apologies if you already did and I've forgotten, but could you please
expand on what "pain" you are referring to here?

Hello
The following valid <= PHP 8.0 code that intends to make the $line property
public is a fatal error in 8.1
class FooException extends Exception {
public $line;
}
However, the fixed code for 8.1:
class FooException extends Exception {
public int $line;
}
Is a fatal error in <= 8.
