Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] [Vote] Change the precedence of the concatenation operator
From: me@kelunik.com (Niklas Keller)

Hey Bob,

in the RFC you mention:

> While this is a subtle behavior change in that it will give different outputs without notice or warning, it is trivially possible to statically analyze the code and find all instances where this happens.

On the other hand, there's:

> PHP 8, with a deprecation notice in PHP 7.4 upon encountering an unparenthesized expression containing an '.' before a '+' or '-'.

So there will be a notice if the second vote passes and the output
changes in PHP 7.4.

Regards, Niklas
