Didn't someone at some point already suggest:
define('foo', $bar); // runtime, not namespace-affected
const foo = 'bar'; // compile-time, namespace-affected
That way the const works the same with the same limitations as a class const
(which, being inside a class, is namespace-affected), while define() keeps
working just as it always has.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
