Description:
------------
Since the value for class initialization are of a fixed nature, the method for constant scalar expressions could be used as well. As proposed here: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/const_scalar_exprs

Test script:
---------------
<?php
class TestClass {
  protected $testValue = 2 * 2;
}

Not sure what the request here is. Your code sample already works. The const_scalar_exprs RFC applies to anything that uses a static scalar intializer, which includes properties.

Oh sorry you are right, i didn't look closely to the RFC. Also i was told in ##php it was "of course not possible". Excuse the confusion.
