I suspect the reason "array::class" doesn't work is that it was already a reserved word in PHP 5, whereas other types were legal class names. In PHP 5, "int::class" can plausibly resolve to the name of an actual class, but in PHP 7, it can't, but clearly this part of the grammar wasn't updated to reflect that. The parser is being too forgiving here, I think, and should complain if the word before :: is not a valid class name. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
