Comment (by hellofromTonya):

 Replying to [comment:27 adrianduffell]:
 >I would see that all PHP language constructs such as `(array)` type
 casting would be supported by WordPress, unless forbidden in the coding
 standards. Has there been previous guidance about it not being supported?

 Sorry for my late response. You raised a valid and good point.

 In order to continue supporting `(array)` type casting while also ensuring
 it matches the same results with `to_array()`, this means
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/7231 Approach 2] is
 not a viable solution.

 In reconsidering, I think @adrianduffell is right (thank you for raising
 it). [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/7231#issuecomment-2375191427 I closed Approach 2's PR].

 Doing so then means `WP_Term` will not support dynamic properties.

 I'll update this ticket's description for clarity with what is known
 today.
