Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

a) is_a is deprecated
b) namespaces are resolved at compile-time, is_a works at runtime with a string
