There is no such term as "back compatibility" in computer parlance.
The term is "backward compatibility" or "backwards compatibility":
Google Hits phpdoc grep
back: 71,100 1*
backward: 1,130,000 7
backwards: 1,160,000 8
* Your entry.

I don't feel the change "back" to "backward" is necessary. If you wish
to submit a patch that rewords it differently but that is more concise
than your original patch, that'd be great.

Hi David:
Please switch "back" to "backward" in the phrase "for back
compatibility".
In addition, I feel the reworded explanation that got committed is just
juggling around the old explanation. While this is clearer, it's not
crystal clear.

Your description in the patch was a little too verbose so I have
reworded it myself.
