I don't think so, because it would be better whatever new behaviour you may
introduce it would be easy to adjust existing PHP scripts that remain
backward compatible.

That would be good enough since existing PHP scripts can call
function_defined("ifx_hasnulloption") to verify if mode 2 is valid for
ifx_nullformat . I would just try to use a more evident name for
ifx_hasnulloption , I'll leave that for you to figure a better name.
