Comment (by dd32):

 I did indeed mix PHP 7.1/7.2 and PHPUnit 8/9 requirements up.
 The bash script ''isn't'' currently needed for PHP 7.1 as the void return
 type hints work there.

 However, as @jrf suggested, if we're going to take this route (Which in
 all honesty, is the only way forward I can see) it makes zero sense to
 recommend PHPUnit 7 / PHP 7.1 be natively supported by the tests - It may
 still just work, but we shouldn't advocate it's use, and we have to assume
 that it won't always run without run-time modifications in the future.
