It would be great if php will have private/protected constants inside classes. It's very important feature for every real object programming language. If it would be available, the status of PHP, as a programming language, will grow.

This looks reasonable, bumping version.

This seems to be a dupe of https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69980

I started working on this, and will open a PR against php-src in the next couple of days. I don't intended on it getting merged anytime soon, but it is fun to work on.
