Description:
------------
The oop5 manual never talks about the ability to instanciate a class inside itself using "$instance = new self;".

The only occurence of this behavior is in a user comment in the reflection manual. It would be nice to have this stated somewhere.

Putting it in "The Basics"  under the "new" section would be a possibility:

Do you have any suggestion?

Well, "$instance = new parent;" would have to be documented too.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

new opeator: "In the class context, it is possible to create a new object by new self and new parent."
