Subject: [RFC] Deprecate left-associative ternary operator
From: nikita.ppv@gmail.com (Nikita Popov)

--000000000000d718c4058615f10a
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

Hi internals,

Inspired by Bob's recent RFC for concat precedence, I'd like to propose a
deprecation and removal of the left-associative behavior of ternaries.
Instead, explicit parentheses should be used:

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/ternary_associativity

This RFC makes nested ternaries without disambiguating parentheses an error
in PHP 8 -- we might want to consider making them right-associative
instead, which is both useful and matches the behavior of other languages.

Regards,
Nikita
