Hi,

I like to do stuff "inline" instead of cluttering my code with variables.
There are currently three syntaxes/expressions which are currently not
supported but I hope could be implemented until 5.4.

First inline constructing (which I think has already previously been
discussed), but also cloning, e.g:

// Inline constructing:
$car = (new CarFactory())->makeCar();
// Inline cloning:
$tomorrow = (clone $today)->add($one_day);

I'd also like to iterate sets of arrays more "inline": (I'm not sure if this
has been discussed before)

foreach ($arrays as list($e1, $e2, $e3)) { ...
// Instead of:
foreach ($arrays as $array) {
list($e1, $e2, $e3) = $array;

Regards,
Hannes
