case-insensitive Class Constants possible?

[Alex Weber]

weird issue i ran into today...

its possible to define case-insensitive constants outside the scope of
a class using:

define('name', 'value', false);

however, you cannot use define() for Class Constants, to define a
Class Constant you have to use (inside class scope):

const 'name' = 'value';

So what happened to case-sensitivity here?
How can i define a case-insensitive Class Constant????

Thanks,

Alex

It isn't there.

You can't, you'll just have to live with taking that into account while
coding :P. I personally like my constants like I like my variables: case
sensitive.

You can't, and to be honest you shouldn't be able to treat defines as
case insensitive.

TIP: It's generally considered programmer convention to type constants
as all upper case so you can tell at first glance that it's a constant
and not a variable. Example:

define ('GLOBAL_CONSTANT', 'I\'m a global constant');
const CLASS_CONSTANT = 'I\'m a class constant';
