Description

/cc @czosel

Current parser does not improve and does not fix bugs, I propose to go to your own parser, we can use https://github.com/nikic/PHP-Parser/tree/master/grammar as example. I know it is require time, but unfortunately it seems we have no other way.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the plugin's current parser and the PHP-Parser grammar linked in the issue. Define the scope of replacing the parser and the bugs it must address; done means the plugin uses the new parser and its existing parsing behavior is covered by validation.
