I think that is a fault in the examples=2E I have never seen @ used to squ=
ash these messages, but have frequently worked with codebases where logging=
 at the E_NOTICE level would have filled megabytes of log file in minutes=
=2E

As I said earlier, the fact that something is bad practice doesn't stop it=
 being difficult to locate and change=2E The requests for a deprecation per=
iod, or an opt-in mode, are about that change, not a disagreement about the=
 principle=2E
