Hi Andrea!
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "don't need to use ::class".
Currently, we can only use the class constant itself, like $foo instanceof
stdClass or a string representation of that class' name.
Concerning the parenthesis, I agree they shouldn't be treated differently,
but as for now they are.
