These RFC are an amazing addition to PHP. I have been working with PHP 8
for the past few months and small syntax improvements such as short
closure, private constructor promotion, nullsafe operator, etc. are game
changers to my day to day work.

These RFC close some gaps that are natural expectations like short closure
with multiple statements and the ability to simplify even further simple
methods on Data Transfer objects.

I wish the best luck to both RFCs and hope they get approved, if not for
their wonderful merits, maybe at least for the sake of consistent syntax
throughout the language.
