Hi everyone,

There seems no reason not to put this to a vote, so I have:

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/unary_null_coalescing_operator

Voting starts immediately and ends in 7 days' time, so 2017-07-18.

Thanks!

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.

The RFC was declined, 12 to 4.

Thanks for voting.
