Hello, peoples.  I know it's been discussed once or twice before on the list, 
many years ago, but not recently.  I therefore feel OK putting forth the 
following draft proposal for Comprehensions, aka "compact generators", in PHP:

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/comprehensions

Sara Golemon has written a preliminary patch that is partially complete (see 
the RFC link for details, it's impressively simple), but unfortunately doesn't 
have the bandwidth to complete it at this time.  I am therefore looking for 
collaborators with more knowledge of internals than I (which is almost 
everyone) to help finish it up.

The syntax proposed is also subject to revision if a terser but still 
lexer-friendly alternative can be proposed.

At the moment I'm not calling this Proposed yet, as I don't feel comfortable 
doing so until someone else is on board to finish coding it.  That said, if 
someone wants to weigh in on the concept for now (hopefully supportively) 
that's also fine.

Anyone excited enough to help finish the job?

(This is my first RFC collaboration, so if you're going to smack me for goofing 
something please be gentle about it.)
