Subject: Re: Combined assignment operator for short ternary
From: krebs.seb@gmail.com (Sebastian Krebs)

Hi,

Just want to push my thread ^^

Nobody interested? Too stupid? I need to learn C (:X)? Too complicated? 
To much impact (on something)? Too less sense? BC? Anything not 
mentioned here?

To point that out: I _don't_ want to change the behaviour, which means

| $foo['xy'] ?:= 'bar';

would trigger a notice like

| $foo['xy'] = $foo['xy'] ?: 'bar';

would do.

Regards,
Sebastian
