It's the job of an optimizer, not of a compiler. And because PHP doesn't
have an internal optimizer, this is not optimized out. You can either
check the ZendOptimiser (I can't show you the opcodes that that
generates) or PEAR::Optimizer, which is in Pecl (which might not do this
optimization yet btw).
It does.
