Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"53557" 53557]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="53557"
 Code Modernization: Remove dynamic properties in `Tests_*_Slashes`.

 Dynamic (non-explicitly declared) properties are deprecated as of PHP 8.2
 and are expected to become a fatal error in PHP 9.0.

 In this particular case, the test classes contain a `set_up()` method that
 sets a group of properties, which are ''used'' by the tests, but the
 values of these properties are never ''changed'' by the tests.

 In other words, setting these properties in the `set_up()` is an
 unnecessary overhead and the properties should be changed to class
 constants.

 Follow-up to [1041/tests], [1071/tests].

 Props jrf.
 See #56033.
