Are you aware of __NAMESPACE__? Also, if you are using a lot of
external namespace names, you might consider simply defining constants:
namespace foo\bar\baz;
const ns = __NAMESPACE__;
then you can simply do
use foo\bar\baz; $name = baz\ns;
I don't see a huge pressing need for nameof since the above is 3 extra
lines of code - total - per NS.
If this sounds good, I will add an example to the new docs
yet-to-be-committed.

I'm aware of __NAMESPACE__, and your example is kinda creative, but I think
that's a touch too much acrobatics for something that's a basic need :P
Consider callbacks, factories, strategies, drivers, adapters, proxies and so
on which typically may and do pass class/function names around. I don't
know.
I'd rather endure the pain and write the string in full every single time
than cause extra confusion in my source code :)
