 New Comment:

This feature is found on the 5.4 TODO list (https://wiki.php.net/todo/php54) and 
even a patch is available at https://wiki.php.net/rfc/instance-method-call,
but 
for reasons unknown it is not committed to 5.4 or even trunk.

Description:
------------
It would be nice if object instantiation and calling methods on the object could 
occur within the same expression.

Test script:
---------------
class A {
  public function method() {
    echo "call\n";
  }
}

new A(/* args, mayhaps */)->method();
new A->method();

Expected result:
----------------
call
call

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '->'
