Description:
------------
It would be nice if, $object = new __CLASS__(); was supported.

Currently this throws a parse/syntax error, 
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS_C, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in ...

This does work as expected,
$foo = __CLASS__;
$object = new $foo();

Use 'self' instead:

php -r 'class t{static function f(){ var_dump(new self);}} t::f();'
