1.2.284. Could Set Property Default

When a property is set to a literal in the constructor, the assignation may be moved to the property definition.

It is a micro-optimisation.

<?php

class x {
    private $p;
    private $p2;

    function __construct($d) {
        // dynamic default value.
        $this->p = $d;

        $this->p2 = "2";
    }

}

?>
