Version
8.5.0 of the PHP language has been released. Changes include a new
“|>” operator that, for some reason, makes these two lines
equivalent:

    $result = strlen("Hello world");
    $result = "Hello world" |> strlen(...);

Other changes include a new function attribute, “#[\NoDiscard]” to
indicate that the return value should be used, attributes on constants, and
more; see the
migration guide for details.
