Personally, I don't think there's a significant benefit to adding support
for public. There are so many differences and new features that the gain of
just being able to change "var" to "public" would be marginal at best.
That said, I don't mind supporting if people think it will help. It's a
tiny patch and doesn't break any serious API compatibility except for the
downside of not being able to run PHP 4.4 code on PHP 4.3 (if it uses
public), which probably defeats the purpose of supporting both PHP 4 and PHP 5.
Again though, we can do it... It's no biggy.
