Req #74245 [NEW]: No other ways to get all constants from class but using reflection

From: rusbik91 at gmail dot com Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04 PHP version: 7.1.2 Package: Performance problem Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:No other ways to get all constants from class but using reflection Description: ------------ There is no other ways to get constants list from class but using reflection, that is really slow (look at example 1). For properties of class i can do it by using get_object_vars() and it is fast (look at example 2). Why we need it? PHP lacks of enum construction and we have to implement it via const. If we want to get all enum values (like dictionary), so we need to use damned ReflectionClass. Would be very nice if we can get all const values by quick simple function. btw, getConstants even does not have documentation, so you see how bad it is.
