I'm not sure about the reasoning of the silencing, but I didn't have
time to investigate.

I suspect that these are calls that might used to produce noise, or were
expected to emit warnings and now produce a fatal error (just grep for
all instances of @PEAR).

Unfortunately, I had to, but nothing major really. The issue with
session_regenerate_id is nested in some change of semantics in session
cleanup inside the sqlite3 session handler, but that needs to be fixed
properly and I don't want to suggest to comment it out.

I'd expect RC to work without much hassle on both php 5.x and 7.

The biggest hurdle I see is the pear transition though.
