Bug description:  Class as static variable

Description:
------------
It is not possible to create and assign new class instance to static
variable in declaration of another class.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class A {
        public $dummy='AAA';
}

class B {
        static $foo=new A();
}


Expected result:
----------------
The variable B::$foo should contain an instance of class A, instead the
parser returns error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NEW in
/var/www/php6/test.php6 on line 6".

It is possible to hack the problem with code like this:

class A {
        public $dummy='AAA';
}

class B {
        static $foo=null;
        static function prepare() {
                self::$foo = new A();
        }
}
B::prepare();

but since i need to use this construct in my program widely, the code gets
very crappy, buggy and unreadable
