Correct. More specifically: The modifiers should emit an error for
unsupported letters instead of silently failing. This is what my
proof-of-concept patch already implements and it's in line with unknown
letters throwing:
php > var_dump(pack('?', 123));
PHP Warning: Uncaught ValueError: Type ?: unknown format code in
php shell code:1
Other than that, I can't think of any edge cases worth handling.
