Nope. Parentheses are a totally different thing here. Adding mandatory
whitespace means giving syntactic meaning to something that normally
never should have it. Meaningful whitespace is really evil. On the other
side parentheses are already there. They are an existing concept of
scoping evaluation. The idea simply consists of not having namespaces
inside the ternary:
- Read the "?":
turn off T_WHITESPACE
- "(" and ")":
reactivate between these
(a marker 'whitespace was off before "("' is needed)
- ":":
do nothing
- end of ternary (")" or ";" or something I might have forgotten):
reactivate T_WHITESPACE
Thisd is also very easy to remember since the rule to learn is:
Namespaces don't exist where they can't. And with the ":", there is only
one such place.
