Thanx for the ticket (and welcome to Trac!).

WordPress 5.3 introduced the ​spread operator to a lot of core functions/methods.

The ​minimum version of PHP supported is 5.6.20 (starting with WordPress 5.2).

So this is not really a syntax error. You will need to update your version of PHP to be able to use WordPress 5.3.

Just noting that I could not reproduce the syntax error here.

In my testing with an older PHP version, WordPress displays a proper error message, as expected:

Your server is running PHP version 5.5.38 but WordPress 5.3 requires at least 5.6.20.
