Too bad. :( I was pretty excited about the ternary shortcut, because I’m always writing code like this to give an array index a default value if it’s not always set:

$a['foo'] = !empty($a['foo']) ? $a['foo'] : ‘Bar’;

Sadly this just doesn’t work with the new shortcut.

$a['foo'] = $a['foo'] ?: ‘Bar’;

As PHP issues a warning if ‘foo’ isn’t set. Too bad. :(
