The RFC is now implemented and will be included with PHP 8.5 Alpha 3. 
Given that this RFC is likely to have an impact on your build scripts or 
test runners, this email is intended to provide an additional "heads up".

You can find the relevant commit, including NEWS and UPGRADING 
information at:
