Bug description: can't concatenate when defining class constant
Description:
------------
When defining a global constant, you can concatenate a string to another
constant. Doing this with class constants causes a parse error.
If this isn't considered a bug, please consider it a feature request, as
it would be very useful for configuration (especially file paths).
Thanks.
Reproduce code:
---------------
define('FOO', 'foo');
class Foobar
{
const MESSAGE = FOO . 'bar';
}
echo Foobar::MESSAGE;
Expected result:
----------------
foobar
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting ',' or ';'
