Description:
------------
https://github.com/php/php-langspec/blob/master/spec/07-variables.md#constants

"A constant defined inside a function has function scope." This is not correct. c-constants defined in pseudomains and d-constants are available everywhere, their scope is not limited to a single function or a single pseudomain.
