Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"53003" 53003]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="53003"
 Code Modernization: Rename parameters that use reserved keywords in `wp-
 admin/includes/class-wp-debug-data.php`.

 While using reserved PHP keywords as parameter name labels is allowed, in
 the context of function calls using named parameters in PHP 8.0+, this
 will easily lead to confusion. To avoid that, it is recommended not to use
 reserved keywords as function parameter names.

 This commit renames the `$var` parameter to `$mysql_var` in
 `WP_Debug_Data::get_mysql_var()`.

 Additionally, `$type` is renamed to `$data_type` in
 `WP_Debug_Data::format()` for clarity.

 Follow-up to [51522], [52946], [52996], [52997], [52998].
