I guess that's where we disagree. I think in this particular case the change does make PHP better, and I do not value consistency for its sake and having 100% for its sake. If there were any practical reason why the change is wrong, that'd be different matter of course. P.S. I of course did not mean you or anybody else when talking about stupidly following rules, I just described a situation we want to avoid.
