Hi!


To point that out: I _don't_ want to change the behaviour, which means

| $foo['xy'] ?:= 'bar';

would trigger a notice like

| $foo['xy'] = $foo['xy'] ?: 'bar';


Then I personally don't see much point in it. Saving a couple of
keystrokes IMHO is not really worth it.



Hi,

It's like with any other compound operator: A _real_ reason isn't there. But saying "It's not worth it" is something I can live with (even if I don't know how much effort it would take ;)). I just asked myself: '?:' is (a kind of?) binary operator and every other binary operator is available as compound operator, so why not '?:', so I don't have to repeat the variable?

Regards,
Sebastian
