While investigating bug 16004, I noticed there is no E_NONE error constant. The folowing patch provides one. (Apologies if this is mangled, but I don't see another way to submit patches...)

This makes no sense. Why have E_NONE when using '0' is simpler? I don't see how it would be helpful at all, especially since 0 is not a combination of any other numbers.

Because having E_NONE is consistent. Then any possible 
value you might want to pass to error_reporting() has a 
symbolic constant. Sure, "0" conceptually means "none", 
but there's no reason that the value 0 MUST mean "no 
errors". It just happens to be true in this case.

I'll agree that this may not be a compelling reason to 
include E_NONE, but, I can't think of any compelling 
reason why _NOT_ to include it, especially considering 
that this is a two line patch that is not invasive at 
all.

Also, the documentation references E_NONE, so at 
least one other person feels it to be a reasonable 
constant, so much that they didn't check to make sure 
that the constant actually existed:

Didn't see this request earlier. Request #52563 is dealing with this,
anyway.
