For reference, here is Anatol's mapping that allows extensions using
the new types etc to compile with older PHP releases:

I would have leaned towards not requiring macro name changes, but I
wouldn't vote against the RFC because of them.


Anatol: what about creating the inverse of the compat.h #defines?  Old
code can include those definitions and wouldn't need as many changes?


The macros are easy done of course, but the long/int keywords would
conflict with the built-in types, wouldn't they? Well, if zpp var
datatypes were still replaced, it should work. Is that what you mean?

Have as much as can be done via macros to minimize the number of lines
that need to be modified in a file.
