I agree that the free-form tags could lead to much Daily WTF material,
but there's a simplett reason to reject it: The tags are hardcoded in
the lexer.
Making it anything can drop perfomance.
However, they could be possible as booleans, just as many of them are
now in php.ini.
And I like the idea of providing a function for auto escaping <?= echos.
