-/**
- * This function works like "use VERSION" in Perl, the program will die with a
- * backtrace if the current version of PHP is less than the version provided
- *
- * This is useful for extensions which due to their nature are not kept in sync
- * with releases, and might depend on other versions of PHP than the main code
- *
- * Note: PHP might die due to parsing errors in some cases before it ever
- * manages to call this function, such is life
- *
- * @see perldoc -f use
- *
- * @param string|int|float $req_ver The version to check, can be a string, an integer, or a float
- *
- * @deprecated since 1.30
- *
- * @throws MWException
