Basically there is no need for annotations in PHP unlike there is in Python
for instance. However, while the following work:
php -r 'class T { const C=42; var $p=T::C; } var_dump(new T);'
php -r 'class T { const C=42; const D=T::C; } var_dump(new T);
the next two do not:
php -r 'class T { const C=42; var $p=T::C + 1; } var_dump(new T);'
php -r 'class T { const C=42; const D=T::C + 1; } var_dump(new T);
So you might want to have full support for evaluated consts/default values.
The reason why we do not support this right now is a limitation in how
consts and default values get initialised.
Best regards,
Marcus
