This is why it's not bogus. By all means explain why your understanding
of what an operator permits the construction of something that is not an
expression, but don't just say "bogus".

I contend that for ',' to be an operator, it should form part of an
expression, and I contend that expressions can be put in parentheses and
remain expressions. You can challenge either notion, but then I think
we will be disagreeing only about definitions.

Maybe, but it comports with what PHP considers to be an operator:

"An operator is something that takes one or more values (or
expressions, in programming jargon) and yields another value (so that
the construction itself becomes an expression)."

If you have a different definition, we could just agree on the fact that
PHP has no ',' operator as PHP defines the term.

What is your definition?
