There is no such term as "back compatibility" in computer parlance.
The term is "backward compatibility" or "backwards compatibility":

I don't feel the change "back" to "backward" is necessary. If you wish
to submit a patch that rewords it differently but that is more concise
than your original patch, that'd be great.

Hi David:
Please switch "back" to "backward" in the phrase "for back
compatibility".
In addition, I feel the reworded explanation that got committed is just
juggling around the old explanation. While this is clearer, it's not
crystal clear.

Your description in the patch was a little too verbose so I have
reworded it myself.

Description:
------------
The note for the encoding parameter in the mb-strrpos documentation is
ambiguous to me. It can be mistakenly interpreted as meaning that the
parameter was added in 5.2 when in reality it's behavior was modified.
