new MyClass()->method() without parentheses
This RFC allows to omit parentheses around the new expression when constructor arguments' parentheses are present.
$highlighter = (new Highlighter())->withGutter(); $highlighter = new Highlighter()->withGutter();
It also works with accessing properties, constants, etc.
new MyClass()::CONSTANT; new MyClass()::$staticProperty; new MyClass()::staticMethod(); new MyClass()->property; new MyClass()->method(); new MyClass()();

Much cleaner

I think I would be fine if this had been in PHP all along, but for all existing developers this proposal really messes up my feeling for reading code. PHP always considers a space between words/symbols as a separator between two things. If you want to combine the result of that, you need to always use parentheses, so why create an exception here?
Less code is better code, this is implicit language priority no need to express it

This RFC proposes a way to have multi-line short closures — closures that don't need explicit use statements, but can still have multiple lines and a return statement.
