new foo()->bar() syntax error : "new" associativity

It seems this is better to be fixed in near future.
Let "new" be associative? Currently, it's syntax error.
Was there discussion for this with
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/uniform_variable_syntax ?

I think that we should keep new working the way it does. While some
other languages do make new Foo->bar be (new Foo)->bar, I don't
think that's very intuitive. The whitespace between new and the class
name has made me always read it as new (Foo->bar) instead. Continuing
to require brackets here will mean people don't misinterpret it.

Also, as Nikita noted, there might be compatibility issues.

Thanks.
