Description:
------------
If i want to get an element of an array directly returned by a
function, using [], it will prints 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';' in php
shell code on line 1

Reproduce code:
---------------
$a = array("a","b","c");

echo array_values($a)[0]; //it (doesnt) works with any function that
retuns an array

Expected result:
----------------
print to screen something like that:
a

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ',' or ';' in php
shell code on line 1
