This can already be done in application code, having the language add a synonym is IMO unnecessary
magic and breaks the
principle of the least surprise.

The solution proposed in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70549 however is
very similar to what I'm asking.
Note that in that bug entry the solution was based on the premise that $obj = new
$foo->bar(); was valid code, which
it isn't. (https://3v4l.org/lpN1T)
