No immediate plan for this; it'll depend on our actual usage and whether
we see real strong benefits to 5- (or 4.1+)- only support. (Eg, we
switched from PHP 4 to PHP 5 very quickly because PHP 5 is a *lot*
easier to work with, with sane object semantics and a class autoloader,
and it wasn't worth the trouble to maintain PHP 4 compatibility.)
