It seems to me the “do this or die” idiom at least has been very common in PHP. There may still be some occurences in the manual proper, and definitely there are occurences in user contributed notes. > Finally, a note on the "xor" operator - your draft says that this is > equivalent to "!=", but that is not the case, because both can operate on > non-boolean values.
