Comment:

 Replying to [comment:22 jrf]:
 > the discrepancy between the parameter names in parent vs child classes
 *must* be solved for PHP 8 compatibility

 Yes, of course.

 > The choice for the pattern of ''"generic" parameter name in declaration,
 renamed to the original, more specific and more descriptive name near the
 top of the function''...

 Yeah, thinking this is probably the best that can be done under the
 circumstances. Just thinking it would be good to add a short comment
 explaining what's going on.

 Too late to do thin in 5.8. Lets do in 5.9-early.
