Description:
------------
Take a good look in the code, a special attention to : at line 10. I think that PHP should produce an error in this line.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
class test
{
	static $var = 0;

	static function run()
	{
		$var = 1;
		$newvar = 2;
		self:$var = $newvar; //where is error?! this is line 10

		echo $var . PHP_EOL;
		echo self::$var . PHP_EOL;
		//echo self:$var; //rise error!
	}
}
test::run();

Expected result:
----------------
an error in line 10

Actual result:
--------------
2
0

`self:` creates a goto label with name "self". You could write that line as

    self:
    $var = $newvar;

So the code is perfectly valid.
