Bug description: Arrays defined as object properties treat defined constants differently.
It appears that using defined constants to index an array within a class
results in different behaviour than arrays defined without.
Within a class, the array treats the constant as a string literal, whereas
in a regular array definition, the constant is properly evaluated.
Which of the two is the "correct" behaviour, and why do they differ between
contexts? Is there a way to get the results of Situation A in Situation
B?

<?php
define( 'TEST1', 1 );
define( 'TEST2', 2 );
define( 'TEST3', 3 );
// Situation A
$aTest = array(
TEST1 => 'TEST1',
TEST2 => 'TEST2',
TEST3 => 'TEST3'
);
print_r( $aTest );

// Situation B
class Test
{
var $aTest2 = array(
TEST1 => 'TEST1',
TEST2 => 'TEST2',
TEST3 => 'TEST3'
);
}
$oTest = new Test;
print_r( $oTest );
?>
