Bug description:unexpected return value getConstant

Description:
------------
to make it short:



if you try to get the value of a constant via
ReflectionClass::getConstant(...) and the constant name you specified does
not exist, the function returns bool(false).



but maybe you have really defined a constant as bool(false). then you are
not able to distinguish between these two possibilities.



in that case the preferred behavior should be to throw and exception or
return the null value.
