#50003 [Opn->Fbk]: Allow constructions like func()[0]

The idea was often discussed, but nobody found a fully satisfying
solution, yet.
Yours is limited to one array dimension.
<?php
function foo() {
return array(array(42));
}
echo foo()[0][0];
?>
Will for instance not work but should be supported.
I also think it's likely to cause memory problems in edge cases while I
wasn't able to create one in my quick tests.
Anyidea aobut the above problem?

Description:
------------
PHP parser doesn't allow for array index operation to be used on a
result of a function call. I propose a patch to allow such a
construction.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function car_brands() {
return array("chevy", "hummer");
}
print car_brands()[1] . "\n";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
"hummer"
Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in test.php on line 5
