PHP Bug Type:     Feature/Change Request
Bug description:  Request that NowDoc works within class const

Description:
------------
I have read about nowdoc which sounds exciting and is currently being
added in 5.3.0!  After quickly searching the bugs reported on php.net I
couldn't figure out if nowdoc strings work within class constants or not
and what the plan was going forward. 

I am formally requesting that nowdoc works from within constants defined
within classes.  This would be *very* handy.
An example is shown below.  Actually this is just a modified example of
what I found online documenting nowdoc at:
http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.syntax.nowdoc

    <?php
    class foo {
        const kbar = <<<'EOT'
    bar
    EOT;
    }
    ?>

Because nowdocs "can be used in any static data context" according to the
documentation I don't see why it couldn't be used from within class
constants as shown above (hopefully!).  In any case I'm requesting that
this feature is implemented.  I don't know if this is already what is
planned or not but I certainly hope it gets added.  Maybe it has already
been planned and added for all I know.  :)

Thank you. :)
Chad.
