Hi,

Don't know, how complicated this is (and also someone (not me) must
implement it, because I can't :X), but to be in sync with the
operators the short ternary operator should be usable in conjunction
with the assignment like the other binary operators. Don't know, if
anybody understands me :D So here is an example

// instead of
$foo = $foo ?: 'default';
// Just
$foo ?:= 'default';

Why not just: $foo ?= 'default';

Just noting, I made a ML email earlier about this, except it would be
shorthand for isset($lval) ? $lval : $default. And this has been brought
up before several times.


The "except" is important: I don't want to change the behaviour in any way.


I have many of this "default assigments" and yes: This is just
syntactic sugar.

Regards,
Sebastian
