If you think it's obvious - it also doesn't make it so, then. It appears
we have no way to determine if it's obvious or not. But I'd like to
venture a proposal - find somebody who is not familiar with this
proposal and maybe even with PHP and ask them - what do you think * or +
or -> may mean in PHP? If they are familiar with any other languages
like PHP, they would venture a guess with would be pretty close to the
truth. Now ask them what |> and $$ may mean. Are you ready to tell me
their answers would be as accurate and close to the truth as before?
