Hey,

Yep, I think there might be some caveats to that change.
The original patch did not work on methods, so I've fixed that and also
made the return value an rvalue, so that you can't attempt to modify the
temporary value, the zend_check_writable_variable guard will yield an error.

The updated patch can be found at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50003

I've also heard an opinion that adding this construction is just going to 
make things more
complicated, but take this: chained ->  operators are supported for return
values and I'm only seeing code getting simpler because of that.

Br,
