Subject: Defining objects as constants
From: codekestrel@googlemail.com (Dominic Grostate)

This actually works in PHP8, is it intentional?

class Item
{

}

define('ITEM', new Item());

class Sample
{
    public const ITEM = ITEM;
}

var_dump(Sample::ITEM);

// object(Test\Item)#3 (0) {
// }
