The UseUse::$alias node can now be null if an alias is not
explicitly given. As such "use Foo\Bar" and "use Foo\Bar as Bar"
are now represented differently.
The UseUse->getAlias() method replicates the previous semantics,
by returning "Bar" in both cases.
The parser will now always generate Identifier nodes (for
non-namespaced identifiers). This obsoletes the useIdentifierNodes
parser option.
Node constructors still accepts strings and will implicitly create
an Identifier wrapper. Identifier implement __toString(), so that
outside of strict-mode many things continue to work without changes.
For representing Identifiers that have an implicit leading $.
With this done, maybe go one step further?
* Rename VarLikeIdentifier -> VarIdentifier / VarName
* Use VarIdentifier / VarName also as an inner node in Variable.
Not sure if this adds any real value.
In this mode non-namespaced names that are currently represented
using strings will be represented using Identifier nodes instead.
Identifier nodes have a string $name subnode and coerce to string.
This allows preserving attributes and in particular location
information on identifiers.
Nearly all special errors are now handled gracefully, i.e. the
parser will be able to continue after encountering them. In some
cases the associated error range has been improved using the new
end attribute stack.
To achieve this the error handling code has been moved out of the
node constructors and into special methods in the parser.
Expr\List will now contain ArrayItems instead of plain variables.
I'm reusing ArrayItem, because code handling list() must also handle
arrays, and this allows both to go through the same code path.
This also renames Expr\List->vars to ->items.
TODO: Should Expr\List be dropped in favor of Expr\Array with an
extra flag?
Scalar\String_ and Scalar\Encapsed now have an additional "kind"
attribute, which may be one of:
* String_::KIND_SINGLE_QUOTED
* String_::KIND_DOUBLE_QUOTED
* String_::KIND_NOWDOC
* String_::KIND_HEREDOC
Additionally, if the string kind is one of the latter two, an
attribute "docLabel" is provided, which contains the doc string
label (STR in <<<STR) that was originally used.
The pretty printer will try to take the original kind of the string,
as well as the used doc string label into account.
