Based on the frequent discussion on short tags and their benefits and problems, I would like to propose that a new tag set be added that is equivalent to short tags and that can be utilized on any server, regardless of configuration.

My reasoning lies in the fact that it occurs too frequently that a developer needs to output a single variable while not in a set of php processing instructions, and currently the only choices are to use a syntax that is not universally support or to type much more than should be necessary for such a simple task.

My initial recommendation would be to simply use a mix between the two syntaxes, something like <?php =$foo?>.
