Including a constant as a parameter default.

[Kruithne]

In the latest versions of PHP, it is perfectly valid to use a constant (const) as a default for a function parameter.

public function __construct(int $flags = self::DEFAULT_FLAGS) {

This however, is detected as a syntax error by php.tmbundle, as show below.

The problem seems to be that the relevant bit of the grammar still plays by PHP 5.1 rules. That is, it allows arrays and class names as type declarations; and default values then need to be either NULL or a long-style array declaration if the type is array, short style being introduced in 5.4.

So the problem is wider than just not accepting constants; the grammar needs to be updated to accept the type declarations PHP versions later than 5.1 allow.

This has been corrected by 706c680, also added was return-type matching.
