Description

https://github.com/felixfbecker/php-language-server/issues/448

A namespace named object is ok, even though it's a reserved word: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.other-reserved-words.php

It's a "soft reserved" word - but it even seems that reserved words like 'int' are ok as names in PHP?
