PHP version:      5.4.0RC1
Package:          Scripting Engine problem
Bug Type:         Feature/Change Request
Bug description:myClass::unset() keyword conflict

Description:
------------
While "keywords" and "language constructs" cannot be used as function
names, I find myself with the need to have a function in my class named
"unset", I also see that list is a very common and useful term.

After the introduction of classes and namespaces it's time to look at
enabling usage of these common terms in classes and namespaces.



Test script:
---------------
<?php
namespace whatever;
class unsetTest{
	function unset($whatever){
		
	}
}

Expected result:
----------------
Happiness

Actual result:
--------------
//Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'unset' (T_UNSET), expecting
identifier (T_STRING) in E:\_www\x.php on line #
