 On a handful of occasions over the last few releases, we've included
 syntax that is incompatible with a version of PHP that we claim to
 support. See eg #7925. We could help to avoid this by adding some linting
 to our Travis CI framework.

 Here's one possible approach: https://hakre.wordpress.com/2015/11/10
 /linting-php-files-in-parallel-on-travis/

 Another is a PHP script that I cobbled together for a client:
 https://github.com/livinglab/openlab/blob/master/developer/lint-php.php.
 This approach is nice because we can easily define a blacklist.
