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. Daniel Ribeiro http://danielribeiro.org
