Hello Bishop,

=20

For your first example I do not know what will be the best way but =
assume something like:

=20

God::create(God::chicken);

=20

In cases when you are giving strings to PHP (like in example with =
$_REQUEST[=E2=80=98animal=E2=80=99]) all should work as is

=20

Idea of nameof (at least in my understanding) is to reduce string usage =
and replace them with =E2=80=9Cstrongly=E2=80=9D typed =
=E2=80=9Cpointers=E2=80=9D which can give us feedback while script is =
processed (like when you misstyped method name php will give you fatal =
error).

=20

You are right =E2=80=93 tools like ag =
<https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher>  --php "'God'" will do =
the work, but when it comes to rename method =E2=80=93 there might be =
troubles, for example if I have code like:

=20

class God { public function chicken() {} }

$data =3D $_REQUEST[=E2=80=98chicken=E2=80=99];

calluser_func(God::class, =E2=80=98chicken=E2=80=99);

=20

you cannot just rename word =E2=80=9Cchicken=E2=80=9D in your code.

=20

Also while you are typing God::chi| - you can get autocomplete, which =
will help you write less code and make less mistakes

=20
