I won’t get to vote on this RFC, but I wanted to give my brief opinion. To be fair, my initial opinion was that I loved the symmetry of this along with `+=`, `-=`, and similar operators, but really hated how I assumed it was likely be used. I started typing up a message showing examples of how it could be used, but as I did I fell in love with it. It’s a little annoying to type on the standard US Keyboard layout, but its readable as a syntax and has a clear meaning once understood. This is the example that made me really love the <<Exploding Volcano>> operator (with PFA): ``` $array |>= array_map(transform(…), …); ``` Holly
