So, you say <?= is not useful in certain cases. I agree. There are 
plenty of cases where it *is* useful and since restricting it obviously 
did nothing to discourage its use and only added annoyance to the life 
of average php programmer, I'd say let's get rid of that annoyance. I 
see benefits, I see no cost, the case seems obvious. Anybody can make a 
case for not fixing <?= in 5.4 to finally work regardless of ini settings?
