Hi internals,
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.
Regards,
Nikita
