   . Number operators taking numeric strings now emit "A non well formed numeric
     string encountered" E_NOTICEs for leading-numeric strings, and "A
     non-numeric string encountered" E_WARNINGs for non-numeric strings.
+    This always applies to the +, -, *, /, **, %, << and >> operators, and

+    For the bitwise operators |, & and ^, and their assignment counterparts
