I missed that one. There's a test for var_dump("{$null?->foo}"); but
not one without the braces. I would classify this as a bug and expect
this to behave the same as -> (but not erroring on null obviously).
Worth noting that chaining won't work as it doesn't work for ->
either.
Sara/Gabriel, What do you think? Should we fix this? I'm assuming this
will only require a change in the grammar but I haven't checked yet.
