With the short names was just an example. Imagine one autoload function where
you can create classes on the fly:
(pseudofunction)
function autoload( $class )
{
if ( isset (array($class)))
include/require $class
elseif (file_exists($class))
include $class
else
class $class
{
function __get( $what ){ return $what 'to be / not to be' }
}
}
and I can put here more than 10-20 quick examples...

If you want to shorten long names make use of the namespacing support
introduced in 5.3. Simply write
use SomeVery\VeryLong\NameAndMore as ShortName;
and you're done. You can also do this programmatically using class_alias().

P.S. Not only for long names.. but also for autoloading/extending multiple
classes.. now I let you to imaginate..

Description:
------------
I think may be very useful sometimes allowing the use of variables when create
some class like this:
$class = 'test';
class $class { }
Sometimes when working with some cms/framework etc.. they have
a_very_very_very_long_name_for some_classes and will be more easy (depends of
situation) to have an array with shorten name. Ex:
$short_names = array (
'short1' => 'a_very_long_name_of_some_class',
'short2' => 'another_very_long_name');
foreach ($short_names as $short => $long)
class $short extends $long { }
/*endforeach*/;
