> This new tag will not simply replace <?= $var ?> because you still need to output HTML sometimes.
This can be done with e.g. "<?* $str, 'raw' ?>". > What you've coined "context" is really just a pseudo function-call - it does not automatically establish context Yes. Because the language cannot know the task, it cannot know exact set of escapers which are needed for a ceratin value. But it can provide tools to do this. Automatic context determination is not the aim of this RFC. > specifying the right "context" requires the exact same choice and diligence as selecting the right function Yes. The aim is to call escaping function automatically and to make some context default, so that the user will not take care about calling it everywhere manually. > it somewhat changes the problem, but doesn't actually solve the problem Sorry, I don't know what problem are you talking about, the problem which this operator solves is described in the RFC.
