Description:
------------
Using variables to reference object properties doesn't work in certain cases.

Test script:
---------------
$obj = new stdClass();
$obj->bar = "xyz";
$data = array("foo" => "bar");
$key = "foo";
echo $obj->$data[$key];
$member = $data[$key];
echo $obj->$member;

Expected result:
----------------
xyzxyz

Actual result:
--------------
Notice: Array to string conversion in Command line code on line 1

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$Array in Command line code on line 1
xyz

This BC break is deliberately caused by the Uniform Variable Syntax
RFC[1], and as such is not a bug.

According to <http://3v4l.org/TOH3G#vphp7@20140901> the offending
statement is

  echo $obj->$data[$key];
  
which is now interpreted as

  echo ($obj->$data)[$key];

Small issue with {}

It's not too important, but I'll ask opinions on the internal list.
