Hi internals,

A few months back I sent <https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/15956> for
improving the output of `ReflectionClass::__toString()` when used for enums
(and `ReflectionEnum::__toString()`, which just inherits that method).
Since this is technically a breaking change if anyone is relying on the
output of the string representations, it was suggested that I bring this up
on the mailing list. Any objections?

-Daniel

I don't think there are any objections, so this should be good to merge.
