As a note to this while we're at define().
define() also seems to ignore if you declare a class constant like:
define('test::c', 'test');
Both with and without having a class called 'test' passes this, testing
without the class 'test' like:
var_dump(test::c);
Will result in a fatal error: class 'test' not found. Testing it with a
class called 'test' will issue a fatal error: undefined class constant
'c'.
If the class 'test' already have a constant called 'c' define() will
still ignore it and var_dump() will return the real value of test::c.

Description:
------------
PHP (5.2.5) allows you to define '::' as a constant without issuing an
E_WARNING, below examples will demonstrate it.
The constant() function will issue an fatal error when recieving '::'
as constant name:
Fatal error: Class '' not found in C:\webserver\www\gd\gd.php on line
91
Which might also be wrong or confusing to the programmer
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
define('::', true);
var_dump(constant('::'));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
A fatal error for each of the calls:
Fatal error: Invalid constant name in test.php on line 2
Fatal error: Invalid constant name in test.php on line 3
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Class '' not found in C:\webserver\www\gd\gd.php on line
91
None warning or fatal error for define()...
