I hadn't looked at the particular patch, but still it is a bit odd to 
push something which hasn't been checked at all. IDEs like PhpStorm, 
Netbeans, etc. would've indicated the problems, a manual syntax 
validation would've picked it up, etc.

Then you know that we have encountered more problems with these 
seemingly no-brainer clean-ups. I remember a case of "uppercase 
false/true" clean-up which also transformed some uses of "false" in 
Javascript, and another case which changed split() into preg_split() and 
we ended up with calls to preg_spliti() [1] .

Those CGL patches are valuable for code quality, but must be checked 
carefully; also before pushing them.
Then again, this is just my opinion :-)
