We use T_DOUBLE_COLON in reflection:

ext/tokenizer/tokenizer_data.c:	REGISTER_LONG_CONSTANT("T_DOUBLE
_COLON", T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM, CONST_CS | CONST_PERSISTENT);
ext/tokenizer/tokenizer_data.c:		case
T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM: return "T_DOUBLE_COLON";

and I believe it appears/appeared in other places, too.
