Thanks for the RFC and the drive here.
I personally see the benefit and I think it would be a nice addition.

I think you should also update the "Supported types" section.
Starting with enums, constants can also be objects. Once a good technical
solution is found, any object would be supported probably
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/new_in_initializers#future_scope
I think that only void, never and callable types should not be supported,
just like on properties.
