Bug description:  Supported dereferencing array indeces on arbitrary expressions

Supported dereferencing array indeces on arbitrary expressions.

Currently you can only dereference array indeces on variables directly:

$a = array('a', 'b');
var_dump($a[1]);

but this does not work

var_dump(array('a', 'b')[1]);

neither does this:

function returnArray() {
    return array('a', 'b');
}
var_dump(returnArray()[1]);

or this:

$value = ($ns == 'foo' ? $thisArray : $thatArray)[0];
