What you mean is a "qualified name" so it would be a QN.

Weird, that looks wrong to me, so I may be wrong here.
When receiving a string containing a symbol, the only sensible approach is
to consider it a FQN, as no context is provided with the string.

Just to clarify: For me, "FQN" means "fully-qualified name", which
begins with "\\".
This is specifically not what I propose here. I want the name without
the leading namespace separator.
So maybe "g
If you really want to expose a symbol's FQN, I suggest exposing the
internal name as per `(array)` cast semantics.
namespace A {
class B {
public $c;
private $d;
private $e;
}
}
That would be:
"A\B#\$c"
"A\B#\0*\0\$d"

Obviously, the `\0` is horr
I propose a new method ::getFullName() for all methods that implement

The full name would be, depending on the type:
function: "str_replace()", "Acme\foo()".
class: "Acme\Animal\Cat", "stdClass".
method: "Acme
