That hits the nail on the head.

When triggered errors are unneeded, @ works beautifully.

When they're needed, use a helper like from my third-party library
<https://github.com/haldayne/fox/blob/master/src/CaptureErrors.php> to
capture them:

use Haldayne\Fox\CaptureErrors;
$copy = new CaptureErrors(function ($a, $b) { return copy($a, $b); });
$okay = $copy('foo.txt', 'bar.txt');
if (! $okay) {
    throw new
RuntimeException($copy->getCapturedErrors()->pop()->get('message'));
}

I am -1 on removing @ for 7.x series.  But, I would be in favor of all
changes that remove unnecessary error messages or add functionality to
better work with error messages. In my mind, those are requisite steps
before removing @.

Thanks,
