    'features_pipe_operator_title' => 'Pipe Operator',
    'features_pipe_operator_description' => '<p>The <code>|></code> operator enables chaining callables left-to-right, passing values smoothly through multiple functions without intermediary variables.</p>',

    'features_persistent_curl_share_handles_description' => '<p>Handles can now be persisted across multiple PHP requests, avoiding the cost of repeated connection initialization to the same hosts.</p>',
    'features_clone_with_title' => 'Clone With',
    'features_clone_with_description' => '<p>Clone objects and update properties with the new <code>clone()</code> syntax, making the "with-er" pattern simple for <code>readonly</code> classes.</p>',

    'pipe_operator_title' => 'Pipe Operator',
    'pipe_operator_description' => '<p>The pipe operator allows chaining function calls together without dealing with intermediary variables. This enables replacing many "nested calls" with a chain that can be read forwards, rather than inside-out.</p><p>Learn more about the backstory of this feature in <a href="https://thephp.foundation/blog/2025/07/11/php-85-adds-pipe-operator/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The PHP Foundation’s blog</a>.</p>',

    'clone_with_title' => 'Clone With',
    'clone_with_description' => '<p>It is now possible to update properties during object cloning by passing an associative array to the <code>clone()</code> function. This enables straightforward support of the "with-er" pattern for <code>readonly</code> classes.</p>',

    'no_discard_title' => '#[\NoDiscard] Attribute',
    'no_discard_description' => '<p>By adding the <code>#[\NoDiscard]</code> attribute to a function, PHP will check whether the returned value is consumed and emit a warning if it is not. This allows improving the safety of APIs where the returned value is important, but it\'s easy to forget using the return value by accident.</p><p>The associated <code>(void)</code> cast can be used to indicate that a value is intentionally unused.</p>',

    'persistent_curl_share_handles_title' => 'Persistent cURL Share Handles',
    'persistent_curl_share_handles_description' => '<p>Unlike <code>curl_share_init()</code>, handles created by <code>curl_share_init_persistent()</code> will not be destroyed at the end of the PHP request.
