Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.operators.errorcontrol
---
Documentation tells: "The @-operator works only on expressions".
But what if the subject of @-operator is not an expression? 
In fact, it isn't silently skipped by PHP engine, - instead it causes parse error!
Add this to the documentation page, please.

You should expect the parser to emit an error when invalid syntax is used !!

I do not see a reason to change the documentation, it is precise enough about where it can and can not be used, and is correct.

Thanks for your input.
