Just a feature request for &&= and ||= operators as shortcuts for the logical equivalent of "$var && $var = 'val'".

eg:

<?
$a = '';
$a ||= "default";
print $a;
?>

because && and || always return boolean values, this wouldn't do what you want. (and suggestions to make && and || be value-preserving instead of returning booleans has been shot down already.)
