Hi Nikita,

Derick mentioned in his blogpost(
http://derickrethans.nl/uniform-variable-syntax.html) that "You can't
really write a scanner for it, as the code could already have been
converted.".
I know that you posted https://gist.github.com/nikic/ffd019ef78b72934c7cc
which uses PhpParser\Lexer from your PHP-Parser project, so my
understanding was that it is possible to detect those expressions with both
the current php stable version and with the new one containing the
uniform_variable_syntax changes.
