Bug description:"new" keyword vs. call_user_func

Description:
------------
When one defines a class with __callStatic() which under some circumstances


accepts method name of "new", it may not be called. However, with __call(),
it may 

be called. May be solved using call_user_func(), but that loses the nice
syntax. 



Personally, I don't get it why "new" is parsed as T_NEW after "Base::" and
not 

after $base->. 

Test script:
---------------
<?php

class Base {

        public static function __callStatic($method, $args) {

                if ($method == 'new')

                        echo 'Base::new() called successfully';

        }

        public function __call($method, $args) {

                if ($method == 'new')

                        echo '$base->new() called successfully';

        }

}



$base = Base::new(); 

call_user_func(array('Base', 'new');

$base = new Base;

$base->new();

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Base::new() called successfully

Base::new() called successfully

$base->new() called successfully

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NEW, expecting T_STRING or
T_VARIABLE or 

'$' in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line 14
