…arentheses` sniff > . new expressions with constructor arguments are now dereferencable, meaning > they allow chaining method calls, property accesses, etc. without enclosing > the expression in parentheses. > RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/new_without_parentheses This commit adds a new sniff to detect use of this new feature. The sniff has a close relation with/is similar to the `PHPCompatibility.Syntax.NewClassMemberAccess` sniff and I did consider adding detection of this new PHP 8.4 feature to the pre-existing sniff, though I ultimately decided against this to have more freedom in how to write the sniff and to prevent quite a mess with test changes for the pre-existing sniff. Includes tests. Includes documentation.
