Thank you for the RFC. I second Ayesh's remark with how well-written the 
RFC is. I have one minor housekeeping note: The Status in the RFC itself 
is still set to “Draft”.

With regard to the “Trailing-Operator Style is Established” section, I'd 
like to note that the latest edition of the “Code Style published by PHP 
FIG” is the PER Coding Style 3.0 which requires the boolean operators at 
the start of the line: 
https://www.php-fig.org/per/coding-style/#51-if-elseif-else

Other than that, I share the concerns that have already been voiced in 
this thread and thus won't repeat them.

Best regards
