Description:
------------
Anonymous class syntax doesn't work with "self" keyword.

Test script:

  static function new() {
    return new class() extends self { };
  }
}
var_dump(T::new());

Expected result:

For this kind of change, an RFC is required.

Please see http://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto

Thank you for your interest in PHP and for submitting a feature request. Please be aware that due to the magnitude of change this request requires, it would be necessary to discuss it on PHP Internals list (internals@lists.php.net) as an RFC. Please read the guide about creating RFCs here:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto
If you haven't had experience with writing RFCs before, it is advised to seek guidance on the Internals list (http://php.net/mailing-lists.php) and/or solicit help from one of the experienced developers. 

Please to not consider this comment as a negative view on the merits of your proposal - every proposal which requires changes of certain magnitude, even the very successful and widely supported ones, must be done through the RFC process. This helps make the process predictable, transparent and accessible to all developers.
