Hello Internals, I would like to start the discussion on the Path to Saner Increment/Decrement operators RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/saner-inc-dec-operators
The goal of this RFC is to reduce language complexity by making $v++ behave like $v += 1 and $v-- behave like $v -= 1; I am expecting the contentious part of the proposal to be the deprecation of the PERL string increment feature to achieve the aforementioned goal. However, I believe the benefits of aligning the behaviour of the increment/decrement operators with addition/subtraction are larger than keeping support for the PERL increment, which in its current state has various shortcomings. Best regards, George P. Banyard
