Bug description:Misleading error message when attempting to instantiate a reserved class name

Description:
------------
When trying to instantiate a reserved class name (e.g.
string/int/float/resource), the message should probably mention that the
name is reserved, not that "class ____ not found".

Test script:
---------------
<?php
new string;

Expected result:
----------------
Somethig like:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Could not instantiate 'string', the name is
reserved

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'string' not found
