Sorry for the snarky response, but it had to be done 😂

In all major programming languages we access object properties and methods

C#:
Abc Abc = new Abc();
Abc.method();
Java:
Abc Abc = new Abc();
Abc.method();
JavaScript:
var apple = new function() {
this.name = "Test";
}
alert(apple.name());
Why not to make PHP similar to these languages by allowing to access object
properties and methods using dot(.). We will still keep "->" until PHP 8 to
maintain backward compatibility.
