Right. In one version the behavior may be one way; in another version the
behavior may change. If notice that for the version of PHP you're using
the behavior seems to be consistant, you may choose to write scripts that
depend upon it. However, those scripts may break when you upgrade and you
shouldn't be surprised by that, nor expect any heads up warning, since
you're not supposed to be depending upon it in the first place.
