Hey David,
what's the concrete advantage of this syntax as opposed to the already possible:
$value = [
A1 => A2,
B1 => B2,
][expr()] ?? C;
there are only differences in edge cases (with floats or with type mixing) …
but for the vast majority of use cases, it is just as powerful as what you
proposed.
