Description:
------------
When I use a variable value as a class name, the file namespace is not recognized. 

Test script:
---------------
<?php
namespace test;
class Test{}
new Test;
$className = '\test\Test'; 
new $className; // this works
$className = 'Test';
new $className; // this should work either, because this file declares the test namespace, but it does not recognize class Test.

Expected result:
----------------
I expect to see no error. 

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Class 'Test' not found in ...

This is a limitation of namespaces in PHP - they are resolved in compile-time.
See http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.dynamic.php
