Hi everyone!
Here's an RFC for a small, simple, self-contained feature with no
backwards-compatibility breaks and which in fact doesn't even touch
the language's syntax (it's 50%+1 eligible!) but which could make PHP
a bit more expressive and consistent, especially with potential later
features. It even has a test designed to impose minimal maintenance
burden while testing a fairly large possibility space!
Anyway, the RFC in question is this:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/operator_functions
Please tell me what you think and suggest any potential improvements
or anything you think might have been an omission.
Yes!
I have wanted this for many years. In the first programming language in
which I achieved real proficiency, this was vernacular. It would make me
happy to return to it in the language I now use most. An anonymous
function that turns an operator into three lines looks dumb and makes me
sad.
