RFC: Allow throwing an exception as right part of null coalescing operator View as Markdown

Dear internals,

Don't you think allowing to throw an exception as the right side of null
coalescing operator would be a good idea?

Something like:

echo $a ?? throw new \RuntimeException('foo');

Regards,
Tim

Sometimes that would be really helpful. What you can do is something like
that:

function raise(Throwable $t) {
throw $t;
}

$a = $a ?? raise(new \RuntimeException("foo"));
