Description:
------------
see below

Test script:
---------------
<?php

echo \skljnsdkf\olsjdnvsjd::class;

Expected result:
----------------
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'skljnsdkf\olsjdnvsjd' not found

Actual result:
--------------
outputs this:
   \skljnsdkf\olsjdnvsjd

as if the class existed.

Not only is this wrong, it is not even documented.


The documentation about "::class" is pathetic. It's not easy to find in the first place; all I could find is here:

http://be2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.constants.php

"""
The special ::class constant are [sic] available as of PHP 5.5.0, and allows for fully qualified class name resolution at compile [time??], this is useful for namespaced classes:
