That's for a reason: the guard statement described in the article is a pattern, not a language construct. Also, consider that one can pronounce naturally "if foo [then] return bar" but "guard foo else return bar" doesn't make sense English. I would go further claim that in my opinion all current control structures in PHP are intuitively understandable to anyone familiar with programming but not the language. Can the same be said about `guard`? -- Best regards, Max Semenik
