I guess my knowledge about HHVM is a bit out of date, which is no wonder
as I wasn't following latest developments for some time. Could you send
a link where I (and everybody interested of course :) could read about
the current state of affairs?

I don't think whatever HHVM does without input from PHP community should
be any argument for any change in PHP. If it is good for PHP, it can
stand on its own merit, if it's not, then the fact that HHVM team did it
for some internal reasons that we do not know can not be an argument.

If we want a common PHP syntax that will be followed by different
implementations, it's a great idea, but it can not start with "we
already did it, so you have to do it too". I don't want many versions of
PHP syntax either, but I don't think HHVM team should be the one
deciding how the one version looks like. If they use syntax that is good
(I think this specific one is not, but that's beside the point, as it is
only my personal opinion) it can and should be argued on its own merits,
not on the argument that it is in HHVM.
