Description:
------------
Specifying logically ORed filter arguments results in "and" behavior in 7.3, but results in "or" behavior in 7.4.  The provided test script returns both methods in 7.4, but only the first method in 7.3.  Should this change be added to the "Backward Incompatible Changes" page?

Test script:
---------------
<?php

class A{
    static function one(){}
    function two(){}
}

$class = new ReflectionClass(A::class);

var_dump($class->getMethods(ReflectionMethod::IS_PUBLIC || ReflectionMethod::IS_STATIC));

|| is *boolean* OR
| is *bitwise* OR

You should have been using the latter.

Thanks very much for pointing that mistake out.  I suppose that means the behavior of "$reflectionClass->getMethods(true)" is really what changed.  I have noticed that undocumented "features" are sometimes mentioned in "Backward Incompatible Changes", but I'm guessing this wouldn't be a common/risky enough case to make the list.

Actually what changed was the value of the constants.

In 7.3, IS_PUBLIC=256 and IS_STATIC=1, thus true == 1 == IS_STATIC.
In 7.4, IS_PUBLIC=1 and IS_STATIC=16, thus true == 1 == IS_PUBLIC.
