Document, that namespaced calls should be in () with ternary operator and
make it a parse error if coder forgets it. That's a good compromise and
little to pay for namespaces, and doesn't break any BC.
I think using ternary operator in such cases isn't realy wise - if () { }
else {} is far more appropriate (anyway, I'l beat my coders for such usage
of ternary operator). So as other members of this thread mentioned - would
you really write code like this:
$a = $b?A:B:C:D;

Are you?
Me 100% not.
