I wrote a separate small RFC for implicit-true match statements (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/short-match). There didn't seem to be a great deal of interest, though (https://externals.io/message/112496). There's not much else to do with that RFC beyond bring it to a vote and let the chips fall where they may. If folks think that's worth doing I can do so. It's not going to be able to scope creep much beyond its current minimalism. --Larry Garfield -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
