Hi Claude, The RFC states that it is technically not possible to have a constant of > effective type `static` or `self`. While this is probably correct for > regular classes, this is not true for enums. The following code ostensibly > works (https://3v4l.org/84W92): >
To be exact, defining class constants with the class itself as value is already impossible: https://3v4l.org/J7C30 So this isn't really a limitation imposed by the current RFC, but a new yet mentioned restriction of https://wiki.php.net/rfc/new_in_initializers. I'll try to make this clear in the RFC text. Since the discussion has been settled for quite a long time, I'd like to start the vote in the second half of next week, unless new concerns are brought up. So it's time to review the RFC carefully :) Máté
