Description:
------------
When you "instantiate" a closure through the function(){} syntax, you cannot chain 
the closure method bindTo() from the instantiation. While this is trivial, 
considering static Closure::bind(), it seems inconsistent with efforts to allow 
method invocation on instantiation of other objects.

Test script:
---------------
$function = (function(){ /* ... */ })->bindTo($object);

Expected result:
----------------
$function should contain the instantiated and re-bound closure.

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '->' (T_OBJECT_OPERATOR)

I apologize if the bug category is not correct; there didn't appear to be a "Syntax" category or related.
