This can already be done in application code, having the language add a synonym is IMO unnecessary magic and breaks the principle of the least surprise. The solution proposed in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70549 however is very similar to what I'm asking. Note that in that bug entry the solution was based on the premise that `$obj = new $foo->bar();` was valid code, which it isn't.
