Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/reserved.keywords
---

"You cannot use any of the following words as constants, class names, function or method names".

As of PHP 7 however - these words *can* be used as constants and method names as per http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.other-changes.php

Test script:
---------------
Visit http://www.php.net/reserved.keywords

Expected result:
----------------
The page reflects the situations in which reserved words cannot be used with appropriate note about 7.0 vs. pre-7.0

Actual result:
--------------
The page reflects out of date information which isn't accurate with the current release of PHP.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
