Description:
------------
Hello,

while testing this new release i noticed that declaring a public attribute the way is shown in the "Reproduce code" section below no error/exception is issued by the scripting engine's parser. Is this a
normal  behaviour ?

Web server used : Apache v. 2.2.11
PHP version     : 5.2.9-1


Thank you.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
class TestClass
{
    public $var1 = YTRTWTRT; // notice !!! the value is not quoted 
                             // and no constant with such name exists.
}
?>


Expected result:
----------------
a parser error issued.

Expected, you don't get notice about it since you never use the class. The constant is checked once you do '$foo = new TestClass;'.
