I've just pushed a larger update to the RFC, which limits the places where
new is supported.
Supported:
* Parameter default values (includes promoted properties)
* Attribute arguments
* Static variable initializers
* Global constant initializers
Not supported:
* Static and non-static property initializers
* Class constant initializers
I believe the cases that are now supported should be completely unambiguous
and uncontroversial. The other cases have evaluation order issues in one
way or another. This is discussed in
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/new_in_initializers#unsupported_positions.
