Description:
------------
Would be great to align $object::CLASS to behave like other constants, even if CLASS isn't actually one.

The current result is:

Fatal error: Dynamic class names are not allowed in compile-time ::class fetch in

Thank you

Problem is that ::class is compile-time.

Why not get_class()?

Note that `static::CLASS` already works, which is somewhat dynamic. The opcode can have more arguments, I think, so I don't see any reason why this can't be done technically. What's the argument against making it support dynamic lookup?

No argument from me - more consistency is a good thing. Just trying to understand the request in more detail.

<https://wiki.php.net/rfc/class_name_literal_on_object>
has already been implemented. :)
