Subject: Combined assignment operator for short ternary
From: krebs.seb@gmail.com (Sebastian Krebs)

Hi,

Don't know, how complicated this is (and also someone (not me) must 
implement it, because I can't :X), but to be in sync with the operators 
the short ternary operator should be usable in conjunction with the 
assignment like the other binary operators. Don't know, if anybody 
understands me :D So here is an example

// instead of
$foo = $foo ?: 'default';
// Just
$foo ?:= 'default';

I have many of this "default assigments" and yes: This is just syntactic 
sugar.

Regards,
Sebastian
