Subtle BC break in PHP 5.2.4

Today while evaluating PHP 5.3 I stumbled about a subtle BC break which has already been introduced in PHP 5.2.4. Consider the following code:


class Bar
{
    public function dumpBar()
    {

class Foo extends Bar
{
    public $public = 'public';
    protected $protected = 'protected';
    private $private = 'private';
    
    public function dump()
    {
        var_dump(get_object_vars($this));
    }
}
$foo = new Foo();
$foo->dump();
$foo->dumpBar();
