I'm generally not in favour of new ini settings. I also don't think this 
is going to help a lot, as many people will likely not change the 
default.

But, I am especially not keen on "negative names". Names that include 
"ignore" or "disable" for example. If you must have an ini setting, it 
ought to be something like "include_error_args" (defaulting to "0", I 
suspect).

The confusion in 
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/12276#pullrequestreview-4035216287 
also explains why I feel this.

cheers,
Derick
