In my case, I could trivially resolve the issue by morphing the (private) constant into a static property (semantically less correct, but pragmatically simpler); but I was feeling that it is yet one more inconsistency of PHP: Why on earth are static properties supported, but not constants? So, this is a welcome addition (or, rather, a welcome correction of an oversight). —Claude
