New Comment:
Function names, class names and generally all names passed as strings are
always fully qualified. For classes PHP 5.5 added the ::class syntax to easily
get the FQCN from an alias.

Compile vs. execution phase is that.

Description:
------------
namespace mynamespace;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
class myClass
{
function classExists($name == 'NotBlank')
{
return function_exists('Assert\\' . $name)
}
function classExistsExt($name == 'NotBlank')
{
return function_exists('Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\\' .
$name)
}
}
myClass::classExists()
// returns false
myClass::classExists()
// returns true
Expected result:
----------------
To fully benefit from namespace importing and "aliasing", I would expect that
method to return true when namespace alias is used instead of full/original one.
