Voting no on this one -- I don't see a lot of value proposition here, but
introducing this now will negatively interact with some (imho more
interesting) future language extensions, such as null-safe object
operations. Having both $obj?->foo() and $obj??->foo() with very different
semantics seems undesirable to me.
