The linked RFC mentions this one specifically under the > "Impact On Other RFCs" section. > I'm the author of the cited RFC and there is a clear misconception here and in other threads: the "context sensitive lexer - CSL" RFC can prevent BC breaks for classes with members named like `$someClass->string()`, but the RFC doesn't prevent the BC breaks for class names. Even if I manage to pass a sequel CSL RFC that aims to allow semi reserved names for classes we will still have these type names reserved at compile time. In resume, there is no way to allow classes and types with the same name until we have case sensitive identifiers. Márcio
