There=E2=80=99s actually nothing wrong with this. It=E2=80=99s not like =
PHP 7 will come out tomorrow, it=E2=80=99ll be a year or so yet. So for =
the meantime, people who want this behaviour could specify it. Come PHP =
7, their code keeps working and they need not change anything, as we =
wouldn=E2=80=99t deprecate the flag, it=E2=80=99d just be redundant.

That being said, I don=E2=80=99t think it should be the default for =
reasons I=E2=80=99ve elaborated previously.
