Re: [PEAR] Port Image_Color and Image_Canvas to PHP8

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for merging the CI PRs (for the interested reader, this is 
https://github.com/pear/Image_Color/pull/2 and 
https://github.com/pear/Image_Canvas/pull/6). I will open the new PR to 
port to PHP 8 ASAP. With a good CI, it will ease the job.

Mathieu
