All I can say about this ... I don't want to language being
intelligent and try to assume any behaviour. In C (gosch, again.
No, I don't want to turn PHP into C) under certain cicumstances
you get ambiguousity warnings. But this wouldn't be a useful idea
for PHP because in C its only during compilation whereas in PHP
it would be runtime. I'ld like to as some kind of ambiguousity
parse error ...
$test?FOO:BAR:BARBARA
And its unreadable too (perl). People will tend to mix up the
default behaviour even it would be $test?(FOO:BAR):BARBARA ...
