    Well you're at it,  how about a version of <?= that has 
htmlspecialchars() built in...

    It might be an irresponsible namespace grab,  but I've got a 
function that is (almost)

function Q($s) { echo htmlspecialchars($s) };

    and I get into the habit of writing <?php Q($string) ?> in my 
templates so I'm not writing hundreds of HTML injection bugs all day..
