Description:
------------
We would like to provide cleaner websites and also distributables.
A lot of web hosting companies does not have short_open_tags enabled so we always have to release old school source codes inside templates

<?php echo $foo; ?>

I think the short_open_tag option should be enabled in all cases and simply NOT disabl-able

Short open echo tags <?= are always available as of PHP 5.4.

All types of short open tags should be available and not disablable, please.
Also the simple :

<?php to <?

<? is incompatible with XML declarations, which is why short_tags is disabled by default and its use discouraged.

short_open_tag is changeable PHP_INI_PERDIR which means you can enable it in a custom php.ini, .htaccess, or .user.ini, one of which is likely available to you.

If short tags are not compatible with XML declarations, what about changing them to something like <_ _> or <| |> on PHP 7 ?
