Bug description: Function default argmnt. doesn't accept variable
Default function argument doesn't accept variable.
function echoname ($name = 'bob')
works fine but
$him = 'bob';
function echoname ($name = $bob)
will produce error.
I'm not sure either this is a bug or limitation but I guess its useful if variable is allowed
as default function argument.
