Description:
------------
When an application, which uses Company_Component_Interface as a current naming scheme, is ported to the new namespace support, it would not be possible to use the following:
<?php
namespace Company::Component;
interface Interface
{
...
}
This is because interface (or Interface) is a reserved keyword. It would be really helpful, if Interface would be an allowed class name.

Same goes for Abstract, btw. Because something like MyCompany::Component::Abstract should be possible.
