I like it a lot! Concise and clear RFC.
From having used a similar feature in TypeScript I can say it is quite
convenient, easy to get used to and makes for much leaner code.
IMO not having it on array accesses isn't so bad as with arrays you can
easily isset($deep['into']['the']['array']) in one go, while with
objects and getters etc it tends to lead to much uglier and repetitive
code like:
if ($foo && $foo->getBar() && $foo->getBar()->getBaz()) { ... }
So yeah, +1
Best,
