Description:
------------
I am testing php8 on my project. One project have `Match` as a class name. In PHP8 this is now a syntax error. See: https://3v4l.org/ZTsft

It should be really dcoumented in https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-8.0.0beta1/UPGRADING -> 1. Backward Incompatible Changes

instead of hidden in 2. New Features -> Added support for `match` expression. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/match_expression_v2

This could be a real frustrating one in some projects. As in my case, the class name is database related and i can't change it easily.

Test script:
---------------
class Match{
    
    static function foo(){}
}

Match::foo();
