thankfully made this consistent for all handlers now. However this
raised a
question on my side, whether we should increase the severity to
E_WARNING
or even better E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR. To me the latter choice makes
the most
sense as trying to is most likely a severe issue in the software. For
example someone create a database abstraction and then for a new db
that
has a C level implementation that allows to use the classes directly,
probably a third party implementation, the properties are not
implemneted.
Since the tests were done using the other one errors due to property
handling are probably noticed too late. And in the described situation
anyway are clear errors rather than notices. And I cannot figure an
example
where it wouldn't be the case.
You know I am generally wary of using error levels that are higher
than necessary just to beat people with a stick that they are coding
themselves into a corner. This is what we have E_STRICT for and people
that want to do the right thing can use an error handler to make sure
they change their code to do the right thing.
