Hi internals,
The only objection here came from Gabriel, and I don't think we'll come to
an agreement.
Inspired by Bob's recent RFC for concat precedence, I'd like to propose a
deprecation and removal of the left-associative behavior of ternaries.
Instead, explicit parentheses should be used:

<https://wiki.php.net/rfc/ternary_associativity>
This RFC makes nested ternaries without disambiguating parentheses an
error in PHP 8 -- we might want to consider making them right-associative
instead, which is both useful and matches the behavior of other languages.

Heads up: Plan to start voting tomorrow.
Apart from Bishop, would anyone else prefer to directly go to right
associativity in PHP 8 rather than making it an error? I'm rather partial
to that myself, maybe it can be included as a voting option...

Hi,
I think one should go for the right associativity. 8.x is the right place to
do it, if at all. Doing it directly in 8.0 has the benefit that when
upgrading
to a major version it justifies an upgrading project for an application and
one also might get tool support, e.g. the php7mar tool for 7.0 was quite
valuable. Also IDEs like phpstorm has good support.
One then has to weigh legacy code versus new code being written with a
behaviour different from almost all other languages. I'm not sure if this
is an appropriate example to compare with, but I came to think on the
PHP 7.0 Uniform Variable Syntax rfc regarding migration effort and BC
impact.
