True. An idea I just had was to continue throwing E_DEPRECATED (or a warning
with a most appropriate name, if one is added) iff short tags are used
without explicitly enabling them at runtime.
I haven't looked at how the short_open_tag runtime switch was implemented so
I don't know if it's possible or not.
This would for example make the following code throw a warning:
foo.php
<?
// ...
?>
But not this one:
bar.php
<?php
// ...
include("./foo.php");
?>
Does that sound more reasonable? or do you have another idea?
