AND AT LEAST there should have been done something in 5.6 to WARN about such needed changes without beraking applications at that point

Description:
------------
$count = $GLOBALS['cl_api']->$module['api_name']->count(0);
$count = $GLOBALS['cl_api']->{$module['api_name']}->count(0);

why in the world is the first a "array to string conversion" with PHP7
$module['api_name'] is clearly a field of a array and a string

while i suck all the changes in context of $$ that above is somehow unacceptable because there is hardly some clean way to seek for such things since seek for ]-> would also find any of similar but fine code and seek for ]->$ the same
