Description:
------------
Hello!
It would be great if we could use ternar operator with short syntax. For example:

<?? $var == 123 : 'ok' ?>

... instead of:

<?= $var == 123 ? 'ok' : '' ?>

In php 5.4 short syntax is enabled by default. what if you add this feature (of 
cause, not with exactly same syntax).

Looking forward to you response.

Test script:
---------------
<?= $var == 123 ? 'ok' : '' ?>

Expected result:
----------------
<?? $var == 123 : 'ok' ?>

I don't think we need more variations on the open tag syntax -- if anything, we need less, not more. This would be impossible to Google for, and another variation that would trip up learning developers, who already tend to have a rough enough time with short open tags.

Marking won't fix, subject to the caveat that this could still be pursued as an RFC (which would be more appropriate anyway, as a language level change).
