but still ugly writing, now recommends using exceptions instead of errors, so 
should be deprecated error control
now PHP already uses a lot of combine marks (more than 30), All marks on the 
keyboard are already in use
just as Dung-Mountain-Code

I use @ instead of #[] as attribute token. attribute use whitespace marks are

error control use @@ instead of @, add T_SILENCE token

Other new syntax implemented (Verification of feasibility) :

Hey Chopin

You can check:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/attributes_v2, that initially implemented it with 
<<Attribute>>
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/shorter_attribute_syntax, that changed the syntax to 
@@Attribute
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/shorter_attribute_syntax_change, that finally changed 
the syntax to #[Attribute]

In time, the last syntax proved to be good, especially when dealing with code 
that must run as well on PHP versions before PHP 8.0, as it's interpreted there 
as a comment.

All I can see right now are a lot of backward incompatible changes that are 
unlikely to be accepted with no clear gains.
Please consider them, so that there is a clear upgrade path for existing 
codebase.

Regards,
Alex
