 ===== Backward Incompatible Changes =====
-This change to the semantics of non-strict comparisons is backwards incompatible. Worse, it constitutes a silent change in core language semantics. Code that worked one way in PHP 7.4 will work differently in PHP 8.0. Use of static analysis to detect cases that may be affect is likely to yield many false positives.

 One possible way to mitigate the impact is to introduce an ini setting in PHP 7.4, which will perform the comparison using both the old and the new method and emit a deprecation warning if the results differ. This would allow identifying affected code based on production logs.
