Generally I am one who welcomes new feature ideas, but I fear that string literals as object properties would break a valuable assumption that all properties must be a valid identifier. Without that assumption I fear many things that would become more complex.

Is that so? See <https://3v4l.org/bZTFi>.

And it works with methods too, you just can't define them but can catch with __call: <?php class AAA {

    public function __call(string $name, array $arguments)
    {
        var_dump($name);
    }

} [new AAA, '123AnyChars%%!@#']();
