I'm totally **for** deprecating `get_*class()` implementations when called
without arguments, but I feel like many folks are voting "no" because:

 * there's no 1:1 migration suggestion in that section
 * the section states " `get_class()` is approximately the same as
`self::class`", without saying what "approximately" means

I can imagine that removing `get_called_class()` could also yield some
engine improvements in future, as there's also less "magic information
about caller scope" to be retained.
