Other than an optimised implementation, there's nothing particularly special about the ++ operator's handling of null, it behaves the same as any other arithmetic operator:
I would claim that the unary operators behave slightly different, if it were a case of cooerce to zero, the behaviour of null++ and null-- would be expected to be the same as operating on 0, but it's not.
null++ is allowed, but null-- returns null, and its value afterwards is null.

If anything, it's the fact that $a++ is NOT a special case that means it will be affected by this proposal.
It is intended to be affected by this proposal. -- Mark Randall -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
