"My experience shows it's best to have an error handler convert all errors
to catchable exceptions, with some error types (like E_STRICT, E_ERROR
etc.) to become instant fatal errors (can't be caught)."
I think he is talking about turning everything(E_NOTICE, E_WARNING, etc.)
into exceptions except a few, which can't be catched (why should E_STRICT
be uncatchable?! ).
Which brings up the issues that I mentioned before.
Getting the return of an erroring function isn't such a big issue, but
turning everything into exceptions would prevent getting any return value
from any function/operation which triggers anything,

Personally I think that turning everything into exceptions is a bad idea,
and it would make stuff which possible currently impossible.
On the other hand, I think that we have many E_ERROR which could be turned
into E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR.
Which in turn could be turned into Exception by an userland error handler
if the php userland developer wishes it.
