 * The plugin uses `$variable->$variable_represting_string` or `$variable->$variable_represting_array['
   key']` in a few places.
 * The default interpretation of this syntax has changed in PHP 7.
 * You must now explicity wrap the variable in curly braces to get your expected
   functionality instead of letting php imply your meaning. Examples:
 * `$variable->{$variable_represting_string}`
    `$variable->{$variable_represting_array['
   key']}`
 * These are backwards compatible changes for php 5.*
