Thanks @heelc29 for the fix, and @chmst and @joomdonation for testing.
Both codes work, so I give a successful test. I would keep the old-fashioned variant, it is easier to read. This model will be often read by extension developers who are not familiar with newest PHP syntax. If the new variant is used, a comment could be helpful.
