Ah, yes. I meant among the symbolic operators but you are correct and I've updated to make this more clear. I removed the explicit parentheses from the example. > Looking at the RFC examples again, I was reminded of this RFC: > https://wiki.php.net/rfc/implicit_move_optimisation, which concerns > itself with optimizing the `$foo = func($foo);` case.

I've added this to the references and discussed it in the Future Scope section. Best, Caleb
