You can have "const" outside namespaces but they are not real compile-time

They are set during execution in the same way as define() does.

<?php

Don't you think it's bad idea to use the same 'const' syntax, but different 
behavior?
I believe it would be really confusing for users, as class constants are set in compile time, thus 'const DIR = dirname(__FILE__);' is not possible.
