Description
The PHP spec was a bit open to interpretation at times, so it'll be good to have a second pass, and should be a good opportunity to add more tests.
While we're doing this pass, we should submit any remaining PRs to the PHP language spec based on our findings from this project. Already submitted a few PRs, and I've been meaning to submit some more.

Research direction
Start by comparing the parser's current behavior and tests against the PHP language specification. Review the findings from the already submitted specification PRs, then identify any uncovered cases and add tests for them. Done means the review is complete, coverage gaps are addressed, and any remaining PHP-spec PRs have been submitted.
