Good morning, This is a reboot of Davey Shafik’s RFC (with permission). After recent discussions about sort functions, I was inspired to bring this back up, as I think it would be a useful feature. The RFC is here: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/combined-comparison-operator

I am all for it, but just so we don't end up with yet another T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM can we please not call this T_SPACESHIP? It sounds fun now but future generations will hate us. Rather use T_COMBINED_COMPARISON or such?

It’d be possible. On the other hand, this isn’t just an in-joke: the “spaceship operator” is a common name for it in other languages, and if you google it you will actually find information about the operator. Plus, it’s fun.

Fair enough, it's not as bad, but I thought it should be raised. Cheers -- Jordi Boggiano @seldaek - http://nelm.io/jordi
