Proposal for new construct: nameof

Hi, With namespaces and "use" we'll be introducing a new kind of discrepancy between a string reference to a function, and the short "use"-enhanced name for the same function. This becomes very painful, when I want to load a function before I run it. Today I would do (due to lack of function autoload.. hopefully one day..): F::loadFunc('Foo_Bar_Baz'); echo Foo_Bar_Baz(); Tommorow I could attempt to do: use Foo\Bar as B; F::loadFunc('B\Baz'); <-- failure, strings are not resolved agains the use statements echo B\Baz(); so it becomes: use Foo\Bar as B; F::loadFunc('Foo\Bar\Baz'); <-- works, but negates some of the use for "use"... echo B\Baz(); I suggest we introduce a new construct which will return a string when passed any identifier to resolve against the current file's use clauses: nameof Symbol\Name; With this identifier, the above example can be "normalized" to the following code: use Foo\Bar as B; F::loadFunc(nameof B\Baz); <-- will send 'Foo\Bar\Baz' as the argument echo B\Baz(); NOTE: As a side effect this means less direct writing of string function/class names, and less complaints about \ being the escape characters.
