While we generally prefer objects over resources for quite a while, the procedural XMLWriter API still uses resources, although there is already an object-oriented API which uses objects. This dichotomy makes no sense, slightly complicates the implementation, and doesn't allow a stepwise migration to the object-oriented API, which might be desired. Thus we completely drop the XMLWriter resources in favor of XMLWriter objects. We consider the minor BC break acceptable for a major version, since only explicit type checks (`is_resource()`, `gettype()` etc.) need to be adapted.

Is there any side effects of mixing usage of procedural and OO usage now or now redundant methods? (Been a while since I worked with XMLWriter myself so I can't remember) |

@KalleZ, formerly procedural and OO couldn't be mixed at all; with this patch it is possible, and basically either API is now redundant. Maybe we want to deprecate the procedural API some time. |

Applied as d61bc63. Thanks for hinting at zend_parse_method_parameters(). I'll have a look. |
