Adopt, if needed, to PHP 8's T_NAME_FULLY_QUALIFIED, T_NAME_RELATIVE, and T_NAME_QUALIFIED tokens

• Treat namespaced names as single token (reduced version) php/php-src#5827

Given those are official Tokens, the \token_name() call should translate them just fine - shouldn't it?

What would we need to change here?

[sebastianbergmann]

I do not know if there is anything that has to be done here. Unlike php-token-stream, this library does not have individual, custom classes for each token. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of this change. Feel free to close this issue if no changes are required.

To make it "work", no changes are required. The code should work just fine, it will just see additional, previously unknown, tokens. Given those are actual Tokens and not those [censored] string-pseudo-tokens, the Tokenizer won't even notice.

When PHP 8 is used, the XML representation will differ from the the XML representation generated with PHP 7.x - for probably obvious reasons.

Question is: Is that something we should address? If not, this can be closed. If the answer is yes, the next question is: how? ;-)
