 Since PHP 5.4.0 `E_STRICT` errors appear as part of `E_ALL` and headers
 cannot be sent sometimes - stuff that can lead to a whole set of problems.
 For me, they are useless and annoying - but for others they can be useful.

 I just want the possibility to set the `error_reporting` level used in
 `wp_debug_mode()`. I have applied a small patch to `load.php` as shown
 below.

 I have defined a `WP_DEBUG_LEVEL` constant in `wp-config.php` like so:
 `define( 'WP_DEBUG_LEVEL', E_ALL & ~E_STRICT );` because I do not want to
 see the `E_STRICT` warnings.

 Afterwards I modified the `wp_debug_mode` function like so:

 {{{
 #!php
 function wp_debug_mode() {
         if ( WP_DEBUG ) {
                 if( !defined( WP_DEBUG_LEVEL ) )
                     define( 'WP_DEBUG_LEVEL' , E_ALL) ;

                 error_reporting( WP_DEBUG_LEVEL  );

                 if ( WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY )
                         ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
                 elseif ( null !== WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY )
                         ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );

                 if ( WP_DEBUG_LOG ) {
                         ini_set( 'log_errors', 1 );
                         ini_set( 'error_log', WP_CONTENT_DIR .
 '/debug.log' );
                 }
         } else {
                 error_reporting( E_CORE_ERROR | E_CORE_WARNING |
 E_COMPILE_ERROR | E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_USER_ERROR |
 E_USER_WARNING | E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR );
         }
         if ( defined( 'XMLRPC_REQUEST' ) )
                 ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
 }

 }}}
