It's quite common in C (you can't declare variables directly in a switch case) so I'd guess it would be used at least by some people in PHP. The worst part is that your code wouldn't throw, it would just start behaving differently. Looking at grep.app you'll find quite a few of them. https://grep.app/search?q=%3A%20%7B&filter[lang][0]=PHP (Note that searching with regex won't work as that only shows a very small subset of results.)
