Comment (by hugod):

 Hi @ayeshrajans,
 I've looked into your proposal trying to find an implementation. But I
 cannot find a case where we would want to override the current behavior of
 `expectedIncorrectUsage` annotation.

 As of today, it's mainly used to test `_doing_it_wrong` errors.

 So if a PHP error is raised in version greater than 8.0, I would expect
 the test to fail anyway because it would mean that the test is using
 broken code.

 For instance, if a test calls `strlen()` with an array, I expect it to
 fail right away with a `TypeError`.

 Do you have any case where your request could be applicable?
