Description:
------------
Calling a static function inside an array declaration provides a syntax error.

Test script:
---------------
class Foo{
    static function hello(){
        echo "Hello world!";
    }
}

class Bar{
    public $message = array(
        'foo' => Foo::hello()
    );
}

$Bar = new Bar();
echo $bar->message['foo'];

Expected result:
----------------
Hello world!

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ')' in php shell code on line 9

You can't call methods there - only constant expressions are allowed.
