Supports to ?:= assignment operator

Hello!

PHP currently supports ??= assignment, as shortly to $a = $a ?? null, but
it does not supports ?:= as shortly to $a = $a ?: null.

There are some reason to that?

- https://wiki.php.net/rfc/short_ternary_equal_operator

Thanks!


Atenciosamente,

Work on this was done by Sara Golemon during 2016. I recall that
the voting was closed, see:

Maybe time to bring it forward again for PHP 8.1?
