Bug description: Allow '.' (concat) operator on static strings
I can understand requiring constants for static initialization. But can
the parser be modified to support operators on constants for static
initializations? This is especially true for long strings which I can't
even break at the end of line for readability. (I almost submitted this
as a bug :)
Examples:
$v = 1 + 2; // Okay
static $s = 1 + 2; // Fails parse
$v = "this long "
."string"; // Okay
static $s = "this long "
."string"; // Fails parse
Since only constants are involved the parser could collapse the expression
without difficulty. This makes the code much more readable (again
thinking of very long strings). In my case I'm building an array of error
messages and don't want the array build to occur everytime the function is
called, hence I made it static.
