• [RFC] Deprecate left-associative ternary operator - In almost all languages, the ternary operator is evaluated from right to left, but in PHP, on the contrary. It is proposed to abolish left associativity altogether, and if it is necessary to use several ternary operators, then explicitly indicate the order with parentheses.

  1 ? 2 : 3 ? 4 : 5;   // deprecated
  (1 ? 2 : 3) ? 4 : 5; // ok
