Bug description:Can not define function as an array element of a class property

Description:
------------
The following error is displayed when a function is defined as an array
element of a class property.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in ...

This error was experienced in PHP 5.3.3 running on Apache 2.2.17 on
Windows.

Test script:
---------------
$funcArray = array(
    'funcName' => function($a){return $a*$a;}
);

echo $funcArray['funcName'](2); // outputs 4 as expected

class testClass{

    public function __construct(){}

    public $funcArray = array(
        'funcName' => function($a){return $a*$a;}
    );
}

// The parse error is thrown for the above class definition at runtime

Expected result:
----------------
I expect the script to run without throwing an error and allow the
definition of a function as an array element of a class property just as is
the case for global arrays defined globally.
