Not supposed to work. Constants are a value/expression, you can only
use the [] opreator on variables.

Not sure if this is even supposed to work, but
I can confirm this:
PHP Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in
/usr/src/web/php/php5/t.php on line 9
(strange, the error has changed? :)

Description:
------------
The new per-class constants, introduced in PHP 5, don't allow to access
array indizes.
If I define an array as a constant of a class and try to access the
first index of this constant for example, the Zend Engine 2 gives a
parse error.
Only index access on a variable, that points to this constant, works.
Reproduce code:
---------------
Class Example {
const CATEGORIES = array('a', 'b');
}
$c=Example::CATEGORIES;
echo $c[0] . "\n";
echo Example::CATEGORIES[1] . "\n";
Expected result:
----------------
a
b
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[' in example.php on line 8
