Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:38 dd32]:
 > I've taken my above PR and forked it into a
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/491 new PR 491] which
 does two things, which I think is a reasonable middleground
 >  - Standardises on PHPUnit8/9 assert calls, requires PHP 7.2+ to run.
 >  - Includes a bash script for use on Travis to remove the void return
 type hinting so that Travis can still run the Unit tests for PHP 5.6, 7.0,
 and 7.1.

 Just noting that the `void` return type hinting
 [https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration71.new-features.php was introduced
 in PHP 7.1], so unless I'm missing something, PHP 7.1 should be able to
 run the newer syntax without any modifications, I think they are only
 needed for 5.6 and 7.0. Is that assumption wrong?
