Description:
------------
I made a constant array and tried to use it as the default for an array parameter, but it wouldn't accept it.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

const FOO = [];

function foobar(array $foo = FOO) {}

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Default value for parameters with array type hint can only be an array or NULL in %s on line 5

Process exited with code 255.

What about master branch? Was it intentionally not merged?

oops, looks like I was too hasty

Yeah, sorry. It took me some time to figure out how to port that fix to master. Had to basically reimplement the whole thing for master.
