Hi internals,

One thing that always bugged me is how PHP silently ignores data that
exceeds the limits defined in php.ini.

For example, posting a form exceeding post_max_size results in empty $_POST
and $_FILES, with no error message whatsoever. This has bugged a few more
people than just myself, if I believe this StackOverflow question
<https://stackoverflow.com/q/2133652/759866> with 37k views.

Another example is max_file_uploads: if I upload more files that the
configured value, the subsequent files are silently ignored, and only the
first n files appear in $_FILES.

I'd like to work on an RFC to make all these errors in PHP 8 (ideally with
a way to catch the error, but I'm not sure how to do that), but would love
to get some feedback/ideas before venturing in an RFC.

Thank you.
