Erm, how is that going to happen?

This is basically a tighter setting that can *optionally* be used and should 
*always* be used in development. It would be documented loud and clear in 
the PHP manual, where people go to find out about new/different-from-Java 
language elements. There's a *possible* slowdown and *possible* conflicts if 
you never use it, but the people most likely to never use it are those least 
likely to be loading lots of third-party OO code in the first place.

Ah well we might as well throw out E_STRICT too!
