I agree it hasn't been problematic. I suspect that part of the reason
for
that is that it hasn't been used. I would not object to deprecating the
syntax extension.
Nathan, what say you? I think that if you're in agreement, we can go
ahead and deprecate this extension.
I suspect it's not used much -- I remember being surprised when I realized
we had it at the syntax level. I don't find '<?' and '>?' to be particularly
mnemonic. Using <? as an lvalue is wierd in the
same way ?: is -- and I know that has been tricky to get right in a number
of cases. I have no great love of it.
