Sorry to put a spanner in the works but adding <?php= isnt a good idea, its
more magic and I dont think we should be adding any more magic to the
language. <?php echo is only 4 exta chars and is more readable, I would vote
for depreciation of <?= and <%= but I know thats not going to happen either,
lets not make the situation worse by adding more magic.
