Introduce PHP 8.3: Typed Class Constants, raising Drupal support to >10.2

This is harsh, need to find another way - new versioning?

Types constants already existin PHP 7.1.0:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.constants.php

Resetting the core version requirement to : core_version_requirement: ^8 || ^9 || ^10 || ^11

Hi, this breaks when running the module in PHP 8.1 and PHP 8.2.

Constant visibility modifiers have existed since 7.1, however typed constants were only introduced in PHP 8.3 and later https://php.watch/versions/8.3/typed-constants

Thanks for your feedback.
What do you suggest me to do?
It seems the change needs to be undone, then generate a new verson 8.x-1.22, then create a new branch 11.x-1.22, and chagne that version.
I seems current version (well, 8.x-1.19) is pretty stable, and changes are pretty much 'techinical debt' due to core / php changes.

Hi @johnv I guess there are two ways to approach this;

1. revert the types on constants

e.g.

public const string UPDATE = 'office_hours.update';

for < PHP 8.3 this would work
public const UPDATE = 'office_hours.update';

2. add a php composer requirement in composer.json to the next release, so if users are running < PHP 8.3, the module won't upgrade unless the requirements are met

"require": {
    "php": ">=8.3.0"
},

Thanks.

Thanks, first step from the 'Remaing tasks' section: revert the type class constants

Thanks @johnv for fixing this

Postponed until a newer major version of Drupal (D12? D13? )
