Hey Dan,

The point of this language feature isn't to promote or simplify the creation of bad code.
Developers can (and will) misuse any feature to write poor code.
The aim of this RFC is to enable developers to write less verbose code for what seems like a common
scenario in code bases. Whilst the examples I shows may not be demonstrating the highest quality of
code out there, they do show that code does exist (and in popular projects too) that could benefit
from having this feature included into PHP.
