Using nameof syntax leads to parse errors

[varungandhi-src]

Describe the bug

The code examples on the nameof page lead to parse errors.

Standalone code, or other way to reproduce the problem

class B {}
class C extends B {}
trait T {
    require extends B;
    public static function f(): void {
        var_dump(nameof T); // "T"
        var_dump(nameof self); // "D" (user of trait)
        var_dump(nameof parent); // "C" (parent of trait user, not B)
        var_dump(nameof static); // "E", receiver for ::f() in main
    }
}
class D extends C { use T; }
class E extends D {}

<<__EntryPoint>>
function main(): void {
  E::f();
}

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Copy-paste the above code in tmp.hack and run hhvm tmp.hack. I tested with the Docker container

Expected behavior

Code should run (or at least parse) properly.

Actual behavior

Fatal error: Encountered unexpected token `T`. in /home/tmp.hack on line 6

Additional context

We're trying to add support for Hack syntax highlighting in Sourcegraph here: https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/62770 and were going through the official docs for code examples.

The version of hhvm you are using is not the latest version. nameof is very new. Your version of hhvm does not support this syntax.
