None of that syntax is PHP 5 only. And you won't get a fatal error
until you actually try to use the PHP 5 code in the plugin. Just
having it there doesn't make it go fatal until it tries to actually
interpret it.

Since the plugin deactivates itself on activation, the only way you
can go fatal is if you have actual PHP 5 code in the main body of the
plugin (instead of in a function or something).
