Cannot create Closure for new expression

Description

When using the ... ellpsis operator as an argument, it creates a closure, based on the current function or method. While the syntax can be linted by PHP, it is not possible to use it with a new operator.

Example

<?php

class X {
    function __construct() {}
}

$closure = new X(...);

?>

Alternatives

• Make a closure that takes the arguments, and relay them to the new operator.
• Create a named constructor, and make a closure from this.
