note 111774 added to language.operators.precedence

The priority of object member access operator (->) as compared to array member access operator ([]) could be confusing. <?php class SomeClass { public $property = [ 'member' => 'expected', ]; public $indirect = 'totally unexpected'; } $property = [ 'member' => 'indirect', ]; $object = new SomeClass; print $object->$property['member']; // prints 'totally unexpected' ?> One would expect the last line to be parsed left-to-right, that is, <?php ($object->$property)['member'] ?> but it is actually parsed as if it were written <?php $object->{$property['member']} ?> which implies brackets ([]) have a higher priority than an arrow (->).
