I think that would be good.

It would be
function define(string $var, mixed $val,
bool case_insensitive = false, bool namespace_constant = false);
since we already have the case-insesitive flag. In my opinion
define(__NAMESPACE__.'::FOOBAR', $value);
is good enough and clearer than
define('FOOBAR', $value, false, true);
where one has to think what "false" and "true" mean in that context.
