I'm trying to track down the actual bug where this got resolved, but yes, I
believe this was deliberately done, and primarily because we allow hyphens
in class names, and so fully qualified variables like
"$foo::bar-baz::variable" weren't working.
Allowing a trailing hyphen doesn't seem like the most optimal solution
though....
