Subject: [VOTE] ::class feature to resolve namespaced class names to scalars
From: ralph@ralphschindler.com (Ralph Schindler)

Hi internals!

The ::class resolution proposal had significant discussion in April and 
I've updated the patch to address issues that came up then.  At this 
point, I've gotten some positive feedback from various places and feel 
its time to open it up for a vote to internals.

     RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/class_name_scalars#vote

     PR: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/187

Thanks,
Ralph
