No argument from me - more consistency is a good thing. Just trying to understand the request in
more detail.

Note that static::CLASS already works, which is somewhat dynamic. The opcode can have
more arguments, I think, so I don't see any reason why this can't be done technically.
What's the argument against making it support dynamic lookup?

Problem is that ::class is compile-time.

Why not get_class()?

Description:
------------
Would be great to align $object::CLASS to behave like other constants, even if CLASS isn't
actually one.

The current result is:

Fatal error: Dynamic class names are not allowed in compile-time ::class fetch in

Thank you
