Description:
------------
The following is a valid:

(!array_key_exists($class, $this->_data)) AND new InvalidArgumentException("Class does not exist");

However the following is not:

(!array_key_exists($class, $this->_data)) AND throw new InvalidArgumentException("Class does not exist");

Test script:
---------------
(!array_key_exists($class, $this->_data)) AND throw new InvalidArgumentException("Class does not exist");

Expected result:
----------------
No syntax error

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected
