So the behavior is consistent with `??=`. Bob, your observation about
optimizing intermediate chain fetches with ad-hoc references is
interesting, but that would be an improvement to all compound
assignment operators, not something specific to `|>=`.
I've updated the RFC to clarify this in the Single-Evaluation
Guarantee section.
Thank you. The clarification makes sense to me and I don't have further
comments on the RFC.
As indicated in https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/132049, your RFC
could still be included in PHP 8.6. Even with this clarification, which
is a “minor change” you would be just in time. Any further change to the
RFC text will miss the deadline.
*If* you want to try to get into PHP 8.6, you'll need to open voting on
the 28th of July very shortly after 04:18 UTC until August 11th the same
time + a bit of buffer. You will also need to send an intent to vote
email at least 48 hours before that. The decision is up to you. I just
wanted to provide you with all the necessary information as a first-time
RFC author to make an adequate decision.
Best regards
