Does anyone know if it's possible to reference class constants or static variables without having to use 'self::' all the time?

class A {
   const MY_CONSTANT = true;

   public function test() {
      echo self :: MY_CONSTANT; // works
      echo MY_CONSTANT; // doesn't work
   }
}

I don't think it is possible, but why not? Can zend/php make it work? Seems it could since this works:

define('MY_CONSTANT', true);
class A {
   public function test() {
      echo MY_CONSTANT; // works
   }
}

It's just annoying my how much boiler-plate I have to write all the time.
