It was, a year and a half ago when Aviz was first proposed. The preference was split, but leaned
toward the prefix-style syntax. So we went with that. I don't think we'll ever get
everyone to want the same syntax, but we're using the one that was both somewhat more popular,
and (as discussed in the RFC) arguably superior.
As the "comments in yield from" thread has shown, *any* even slight change to PHP's
syntax will require work from static analysis tools. That's the nature of the problem space,
regardless of the syntax specifics.
