Description:
------------
A constant for the namespace separator should be defined. I would propose to define NAMESPACE_SEPARATOR to "::", similiar to DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.

Why is this useful?

Sorry, wrong version.

Could help to keep a codebase cleaner and better readable. Take a look at:
$path = str_replace('::', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $class_name);
vs.
$path = str_replace(NAMESPACE_SEPARATOR, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $class_name);
is - in my opinion - easier to understand and better to read.

Sorry, changed summary by accident

The reason for DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR is that the value is platform dependent, the namespace separator isn't.
