I and although not a majority, many others too would have to go and replace countless instances of OR usage, for no reason other than "it can be done another way". Aside from a few people asking what the difference is, in more than a decade with PHP, I've never seen a single person who's had a problem with the operators you want to deprecate. They're not a common cause for bugs even by a long shot, nor a common annoyance, so I fail to see the benefits of your proposal. Cheers, Andrey.
