 New 'readonly' property modifier is introduced to PHP 8.1 after commit
 6780aaa5[1]. That means, 'readonly' becomes one keyword.

 However, there is a function named 'readonly' in wordpress, which would
 lead to a syntax error, as shown in the following error message:

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token "readonly", expecting "(" in
 /var/www/html/php-bench/wordpress/wp-includes/general-template.php on line
 4823
