Author: TimWolla
### Description
The following code:
```php
<?php
try {
assert(false && new class {
public function __construct(public Closure $f = strrev(...)) {
var_dump(($this->f)('abc'));
}
});
} catch (AssertionError $e) {
echo $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}
```
Resulted in this output:
```
assert(false && new class {
public function __construct(public Closure $f = strrev(...)) {
var_dump($this->f('abc'));
}
})
```
But I expected this output instead:
```
assert(false && new class {
public function __construct(public Closure $f = strrev(...)) {
var_dump(($this->f)('abc'));
}
})
```
because the parentheses around `$this->f` are needed to disambiguate.
