Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"51563" 51563]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="51563"
 Tests: Replace `expectException()` for PHP native errors with calls to the
 dedicated PHPUnit 8.4+ methods.

 The old manner of testing these is soft deprecated as of PHPUnit 8.4, hard
 deprecated as of PHPUnit 9.0 and will be removed in PHPUnit 10.0.

 These dedicated methods introduced in PHPUnit 8.4 should be used as an
 alternative:

 * `expectDeprecation()`
 * `expectDeprecationMessage()`
 * `expectDeprecationMessageMatches()`
 * `expectNotice()`
 * `expectNoticeMessage()`
 * `expectNoticeMessageMatches()`
 * `expectWarning()`
 * `expectWarningMessage()`
 * `expectWarningMessageMatches()`
 * `expectError()`
 * `expectErrorMessage()`
 * `expectErrorMessageMatches()`

 These new PHPUnit methods are all polyfilled by the PHPUnit Polyfills and
 switching to these will future-proof the tests some more.
