 There was a ticket #8701 that was meant to look at this, and it was marked
 as fixed 3 months ago.  Yet today if I load up trunk in PHP5.3 with
 wp_debug on I get

 PHP Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is
 deprecated in E:\webpage\svn\trunk\wp-includes\cache.php on line 103 PHP
 Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated

 E:\webpage\svn\trunk\wp-includes\widgets.php on line 320

 Many of which I guess relate to the use of $foo = & new bah.

 But anyway, I look back through that ticket and I see that  & ~
 E_DEPRECATED was played with a few times, but the final commit never
 bothered with it.  Should we not have an  & ~ E_DEPRECATED in there
 somewhere?  Otherwise I can't see a way around the error reports.

 (I didn't re-open the last ticket as it is old and long.)

 Hoping this is one of the first things to change once PHP4 support goes.
