The patch as you probably know throws a E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR, which in
my humble opinion doesn't quite fall under the end-of-world category
you seem to explain there :- )

I.E.

function bar($a, $b, $c, $d)
{ return true; }

set_error_handler("bar");

class Foo
{
  public function test(Array $arr) {}
}

$foo = new Foo; $foo->test('invalid');

echo "Everything will be okay.. :p";
