[theme-reviewers] PHP 5.3 In Themes

[Ryan Van Etten]

*@Simon* Yes that syntax applies 5.3+

*@Chip @Otto* A viable way for themes to gracefully degrade:
action/functions.php<https://github.com/ryanve/action/blob/bb6a2ac2579e14c012256f1b68963afcff84222b/functions.php>


Ideally detection would be handled by wp-admin as described at the start of
this thread.
