Comment (by desrosj):

 Alright, everything has been committed that was discussed here. The
 remaining tasks for separate tickets discussed in this one are:
 - Open a ticket to address the PHP 7.2 incompatibilities in `class-
 snoopy.php` ([https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40109#comment:24 see
 40109 for history]).
 - Open a ticket to discuss renaming double underscore functions, such as
 `__return_true` and `__return_empty_array` to prevent
 [https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.magic.php potential
 compatibility issues in the future].

 I have no preference for tackling other incompatibility issues. I think
 new tickets for groups of like incompatibilities would be fine.
