Hi,

The RFC states that it is technically not possible to have a constant of =
effective type `static` or `self`. While this is probably correct for =
regular classes, this is not true for enums. The following code =
ostensibly works (https://3v4l.org/84W92):

```php
enum qux {
    const foo_alias =3D self::foo;
    case foo;
}

var_dump(qux::foo_alias); // enum(qux::foo)
```

I think that `self` should be allowed here, because it is meaningful.
