For example static::class is not resolvable at compile-time. (In fact, many years ago, when I played with that new feature, I almost filed a bug report saying that static::class is not supposed to work, since it is not resolvable at compile-time.) (Additionally, since PHP 8, it is also possible to write $object::class, see: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/class_name_literal_on_object <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/class_name_literal_on_object>. But static::class worked since 5.5.) —Claude
