Bug description: Add a new language construct which prints to stderr by default
A new language construct as a 'friend' to echo wouldn't be a bad idea IMHO.
Something like echoerr which prints to stderr instead of stdout (and does
not use output buffering of course).
The current situation requires the following steps:
$f = fopen('php://stderr', 'w');
fputs($f, 'debug message');
close($f);
which is ... well, it's nice to have but cumbersome to use (obviously, I
hope).
Example:
echo "ene", "mene", str_repeat('bla', '3), "\n";
should just work with echoerr the same:
echoerr "ene", "mene", str_repeat('bla', '3), "\n";
The reason I'm for a language construct:
Make it as similar to use as echo itself. Not requireing it having to use
parentheses. Easily to replaceable echo and echoerr.
That's it, flames on.
