It's starting to get crowded in object constructors. The following example
is so much more readable and maintainable imo. Would it be possible to
still add the quick assignment as a language feature? I'm personally not
happy having property definitions in both the class body _and_ the
constructor signature.
```php
class User {
private string $first;
private string $last;
public string $fullName {
get => $this->first . ' ' . $this->last;
set => [$this->first, $this->last] = explode(' ', $value, 2);
}
public function __construct($this->fullName) {}
}
// vs
class User {
private string $first;
private string $last;
public function __construct(
public string $fullName {
get => $this->first . ' ' . $this->last;
set => [$this->first, $this->last] = explode(' ', $value, 2);
}
) {}
}
// or
class User {
private string $first;
private string $last;
public string $fullName {
get => $this->first . ' ' . $this->last;
set => [$this->first, $this->last] = explode(' ', $value, 2);
}
public function __construct(string $fullName)
{
$this->fullName = $fullName;
}
}
```
