We weren't able to do this in 7.1 because the deprecation notice
may be converted to an exception and __toString() can't throw,
which means that it ultimately become a fatal error. This issue
is resolved now, so we can mark the method as deprecated.

And convert some object to string conversion related recoverable
fatal errors into Error exceptions.
Improve exception safety of internal code performing string
conversions.
Contrary to the comments, these only hide constructors (old or new
style) if they a) are inherited b) come from a trait and c) are
aliased -- which doesn't make any sense at all.
This patch removes the so called local variables defined per
file basis for certain editors to properly show tab width, and
similar settings. These are mainly used by Vim and Emacs editors
yet with recent changes the once working definitions don't work
anymore in Vim without custom plugins or additional configuration.
Neither are these settings synced across the PHP code base.
A simpler and better approach is EditorConfig and fixing code
using some code style fixing tools in the future instead.
This patch also removes the so called modelines for Vim. Modelines
allow Vim editor specifically to set some editor configuration such as
syntax highlighting, indentation style and tab width to be set in the
first line or the last 5 lines per file basis. Since the php test
files have syntax highlighting already set in most editors properly and
EditorConfig takes care of the indentation settings, this patch removes
these as well for the Vim 6.0 and newer versions.
With the removal of local variables for certain editors such as
Emacs and Vim, the footer is also probably not needed anymore when
creating extensions using ext_skel.php script.
Additionally, Vim modelines for setting php syntax and some editor
settings has been removed from some *.phpt files. All these are
mostly not relevant for phpt files neither work properly in the
middle of the file.
I thought these were redundant, because we already NULL out the
clone_obj object handler. However, it turns out that reflection is
using private __clone() to determine clonability (isCloneable) for
the case where we only have a class, rather than an object.
As such, removing these methods would be a BC break.
This reverts commit e7131a4e9f.
This reverts commit 55bd88ce0d.
Reflection classes already use NULLed clone_obj to signal that they
cannot be cloned, so it's not necessary to additionally declare a
throwing __clone() method.
