Consider a .phpp file that includes a .php template file when it sees
fit, in a render() method. How is this different from an echo()
statement? It's not. It's just a convenient form in some situations.
By punting these out to .php files we achieve better separation of
concerns while still respecting PHP's history as a template language
(and possible future if it improves in that area, which it may).
All I want is to stop typing <?php and dealing with whitespace
screwups above <?php. I want to do that in a way that's practical and
interoperable and which people might be able to vote for if they have
a nontrivial amount of legacy code in their life, like everybody I
work with (:
As many have pointed out, plain php template files work for some
projects. A viable RFC that people might actually vote for should
respect that. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg if someone
wants to include .php template files from a .phpp file. I don't have
to do it.
When you consider that I would be completely unable to use an existing
.php library of nontrival code like Amazon's S3 SDK under your
proposal without a convoluted workaround it is pretty much a certainty
that I would have to vote no if the RFC read that way.

This is convoluted and forces me to write a .php frontend. Surely that
is not your goal.
