Hi Nikita,


A quick note on the patch: As the class name is compile-time
resolvable it should in my eyes also be available as a
static_scalar, so that it can be used in initialization lists:


     public function doFoo($withClass = ABC::class) {
         new $withClass; // or whatever
     }


To be available as both a static_scalar and a general scalar one
should put the rule in the common_scalar section.

What do you think?


I've added this to the patch and Zend/tests:

  * https://github.com/ralphschindler/php-src/compare/master...feature/class-name-scalar

I've also added an RFC page, any thoughts on improving the RFC?
