OMG More than 100 token
I am pretty sure that more than 50% are syntactic sugar.

From the manual:

T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM  ::      ::. Also defined as T_DOUBLE_COLON.

T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM is hardly un-google-able.

Hi,

I am wondering why is the token name so incomprehensible ?
Like T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM...
"Paamayim Nekudotayim would, at first, seem like a strange choice for
naming a double-colon. However, while writing the Zend Engine 0.5
(which powers PHP 3), that's what the Zend team decided to call it. It
actually does mean double-colon - in Hebrew!"

Then T_DOUBLE_COLON would have been perfectly clear.
