Description:
------------
I have an "Array to string conversion" error on the following code.

This occurs only when the method is taken directly in the array. When I use a intermediate variable, there are no error.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

class Foo {
    public function bar() {  echo 'a'; }
}

$foo = new Foo();
foreach ([['bar']] as $test) {
    $method = $test[0];
    $foo->$method();
    // displays "a" ==> success
}

foreach ([['bar']] as $test) {
    $foo->$test[0]();
    // Notice "Array to string conversion" followed by
    // "Function name must be a string"
}

This not a bug, but rather a delibate change in PHP 7.0.0, see
<https://wiki.php.net/rfc/uniform_variable_syntax>.

Formerly `$foo->$test[0]()` was interpreted as
`$foo->{$test[0]}()', but as of PHP 7 as `($foo->$test)[0]()`.

See <http://3v4l.org/qdBTj> and <http://3v4l.org/8tOim>.
