This has been requested by the community for a while now. Synatctic sugar? Definitely. But it's also more.
An actual patch has been submitted for this before, and rejected by the PHP high muck-a-mucks, even though the community desperately wanted it, and the work was already done.
The fact that they finally gave in and included it means not only do we get a nice bit of sugar to sweeten up our programs, but also that maybe the community CAN steer the devs towards issues they care about.

Time will tell.
