Would this still work together with short-circuiting and the null 
coalesce operator?

I just didn't see a clear example about this but also figured that could 
be a practical way to use this:

```php
$country = $session?->user?->getAddress()?->country ?? 'defaultCountry';
```

(hope the example is readable, my MUA insists on wrapping the lines)

thanks,
