[PHP-DEV] class constants in RC1

[Hans Lellelid]

I notice that in the new RC1, the following reference to class constants 
is no longer possible:

class MyClass {
        const MY_CONST = 1;     
        function __construct() {
                echo MY_CONST;
        }
}
You must now use self::MY_CONST to reference the class constant.  While 
I can see that the pre-RC1 behavior would not provide a way to access 
global constant if class had const of same name ... I figured I'd ask 
anyway whether this change is intended or a side-effect of some other 
fix.  I fall into the category of people who were really enjoying not 
having to specify self:: before (so now I have a lot of code to fix, 
apparently).

Thanks-
Hans
