Strictness is undoubtedly a good thing =E2=80=94 as a tool, not as a =
dogma. But BC break is not necessary for more strictness. As of today, =
you can write a custom error-handler that converts all non-handled =
warnings into program crashes (after having sent a fiery bug report to =
the developer).
