One of the key guidelines of the language definition process of PHP

We already have many ways to do the same tasks.
I would argue that we don't compared to other languages of PHP's
age. Either way it doesn't matter - it's still a guideline we should stick to.
To make it clear, the main thing I opposed is not the new idea (I
stated my opinion separately), but the notion of "you don't have to
use the new syntax so why should you care", which simply doesn't cut
it with PHP.
