IMHO the parser should be clever enough to get the 
clue when using new() or list() in a class/method
context that these can't be referencing the language 
constructs here

moved to feature requests

New and list are language contructs, and not functions in PHP. That's why those don't 
work.
This is not a bug, so bugusfying this report.

Okay.. this has been bugging me for a while..
consider the following:
class test {
function mail () { print ("Bahn"); }
function fopen () { print ("Bahn"); }
function new () { print ("Bahn"); }
function list () { print ("Bahn"); }
}
$temp = new test;
$temp->mail();
etc, etc..

This will generate a parse error (expecting `T_STRING') until the new() and list() 
functions are removed from the class.  mail() and fopen() will work.
Now.. my question is why the inconsistency?
Is there some super-secret reasoning behind not letting me name my classes' objects 
the same as only a few predefined functions?
I'm lazy.. you guys took all the good function names.. why must you tease me with 
them?!
