Description:
------------
Just my ideas for the equivalent of <>.

I noticed that it did not have for operator <> with the type comparison.

File: ZendEngine2/zend_language_scanner.l

- <ST_IN_SCRIPTING>"!==" {
+ <ST_IN_SCRIPTING>"!=="|"<>=" {
 	return T_IS_NOT_IDENTICAL;
 }

Actual result:
--------------
!= and <>
!== don't have equivalent with "<>"

<=> would look nicer ;-).... still i think <> can be removed, its just an overhead with no real use.

There's no overhead in having both != and <> but many people are used to one or the other from different contextsm whereas !== is a php-only thing and one for that is enough.
