Instead of going for this cosmetic nonsense you should help those people on the lemon branch. I am insulted every time I have to read a parser token name in an error message, instead of a sensible error message. The cost of understanding T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM as part of the current mumbo-jumbo is completely insignificant compared to the cost of actually understanding the error message just indicating what the parser would have expected. Changing to lemon is the only way to actually achieve something in the long run...
