Hi,
I have noted that detecting a class name using "::class" it will return
the called case instead of the original case.
see http://3v4l.org/97K36
That's annoying as I like to check the right class case on autoload to
detect mistakes.
Sure, class names in PHP are case-insensitive but filesystems aren't and
most autoloader using the FS to find the right file. To catch such kind
of mistakes I would like to implement a fast check in my autoloader to
get noted on development instead on production. It's currently only
possible with ReflectionClass but this will be much slower as with
::class.
Are there any reasons to get the called case of the class instead or the
original one?

This happens because ::class construction is evaluated at compiled time,
without triggering autoloader. That means compiler doesn't know what will
be the actual name of a class, it just gives you what you asked for.

slower as with ::class.
It's only possible with ReflectionClass if this class was already loaded.
There's one way for your autoloader to know if the class name has
characters in a wrong case - build a class map and do a check based on
this map.
