• The "old property recreation" code in the class constructors of the \PHP_CodeSniffer\Standards\Generic\Sniffs\NamingConventions\CamelCapsFunctionNameSniff and \PHP_CodeSniffer\Standards\PEAR\Sniffs\NamingConventions\ValidFunctionNameSniff classes can also be removed. Internally, the classes already use the new properties in the utility class.
