Can I ask why you use late static binding while you don't want your =
constant value to be changed/overridden by child classes? IMHO, =
`self::FOO` is all you need.

Personally, I don't use late static binding with class constants since =
the coding standard rule I previously referenced forbids this, but I =
don't think a coding style rule should be our only possibility to =
disallow constant overriding.
After learning about the strange behavior Nikita pointed out, final =
constants would be even more useful than what I initially thought.

I agree we should fix the weird behavior but that=E2=80=99s another =
topic. My point is actually what=E2=80=99s your scenario for a final =
constant? If you want to make sure the value you access are not changed =
by child class, `self::` can serve the purpose already. If you want to =
make sure=20
child classes can access the original value, `parent::` or =
`ParentClassName::` can do the job as well.
