A while back, Nikita mentioned that it should now be easy to offer an abbreviated syntax for
functions that are just a single expression. I decided to take a crack at it and it turns out he
was right. I thus offer this RFC:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/short-functions
Hopefully I made a decent enough case for it. It's entirely a convenience factor, but I think
for many OOP cases (getter methods and factored out operations) and functional cases (where
functions should generally be a single expression conceptually) it does make the code nicer, more
compact, and more readable.
