New Comment:
I had a quick look again over the docs and nowhere is documented that
the namespaces are case insensitive. I think this should go in the docs,
as well if this issue with define() wont be fixed, to be documented too.

Description:
------------
The current implementatino of namespaces is case INSENSITIVE. But
defining a constant using define and having capitals in the namespace
makes the defined constant unreachable.
We can verify this using get_defined_constants(). In case a constant
was defined like:
<?
namespace NS1::ns2;
const const1;
?>
we can see the the defined constant/namespace is in fact:
ns1::ns2::const1;
But if the constant was defined using define(), it is kept with the
capitalization:
<?
define('NS1::ns2::const1','value');
?>
get_defined_constants() gives NS1::ns2::const1.
But because the namespaces are case insensitive the call:
<?
print NS1::ns2::const1;
?>
resolves in fact to ns1::ns2::const1 which is undefined.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
define('NS1::ns2::const1','value');
print NS1::ns2::const1;//error
//print ns1::ns2::const1;//would give error too
?>
Expected result:
----------------
value
Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Class 'NS1::ns2' not found in /home/local/tests/t35.php on
line 3
