 New Comment:

now that namespace separator will be \, the fix is simple: grep for
"::" and fail if a user tries to do it.

As a note to this while we're at define().

define() also seems to ignore if you declare a class constant like:
define('test::c', 'test');

Both with and without having a class called 'test' passes this, testing
without the class 'test' like:
var_dump(test::c);

Will result in a fatal error: class 'test' not found. Testing it with a
class called 'test' will issue a fatal error: undefined class constant
'c'.

If the class 'test' already have a constant called 'c' define() will
still ignore it and var_dump() will return the real value of test::c.

Description:
------------
PHP (5.2.5) allows you to define '::' as a constant without issuing an
E_WARNING, below examples will demonstrate it.

The constant() function will issue an fatal error when recieving '::'
as constant name:
Fatal error: Class '' not found in C:\webserver\www\gd\gd.php on line
91

Which might also be wrong or confusing to the programmer

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
        define('::', true);
        var_dump(constant('::'));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
A fatal error for each of the calls:

Fatal error: Invalid constant name in test.php on line 2

Fatal error: Invalid constant name in test.php on line 3

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Class '' not found in C:\webserver\www\gd\gd.php on line
91

None warning or fatal error for define()...
