Supported: * Parameter default values (includes promoted properties) * Attribute arguments * Static variable initializers * Global constant initializers Not supported: * Static and non-static property initializers * Class constant initializers I believe the cases that are now supported should be completely unambiguous and uncontroversial. The other cases have evaluation order issues in one way or another. This is discussed in https://wiki.php.net/rfc/new_in_initializers#unsupported_positions. Regards, Nikita
