One thing that would be awesome is if we could drop nameof completely (i.e. all class/function names are first class data) like F::loadFunc(B\Baz), but I doubt it would be possible with the parser (at the very least, it wouldn't work for items without a namespace separator, since it could be construed as a constant).
