Hello,
ternary operator is very nice syntactic sugar...
$foo = $cond ? $bar : $baz;
...but it may slows down scripts. When $bar is array or relative big
string, it is better to aviod sugar and use if:
if ($cond) $foo = $bar; else $foo = $baz;
and reference counting will be used.
I don't know how difficult it is to implement, but it can be very useful
speed optimization for PHP 5.3 to improve ternary operator to use
reference counting.
