This is better for performance because these then don't need to be reevaluated every time they are called.
When encountering an unqualified function or constant reference, PHP will first try to locate a symbol in the current namespace by that name, and then fall back to the global namespace.
This short-circuits the check, which has substantial performance effects in some cases - in particular, ord(), chr() and strlen() show ~1500x faster calls when they are fully qualified.
However, this doesn't mean that PM is getting a massive amount faster. In real world terms, this translates to about 10-15% performance improvement.
But before anyone gets excited, you should know that the CodeOptimizer in the PreProcessor repo has been applying fully-qualified symbol optimizations to Jenkins builds for years, which is one of the reasons why Jenkins builds have better performance than home-built or source installations.
We're choosing to do this for the sake of future SafePHP integration and also to be able to get rid of the buggy CodeOptimizer, so that phar and source are more consistent.
This makes the behaviour match vanilla. This will now allow Fire block itself to handle deletion of itself when the area is not suitable (now that the logic is implemented in Fire for this).
This allows attempting to place in invalid conditions, which is as expected. This will produce the sound and flash as per vanilla, as the fire extinguishes itself.
It's only now used in the Durable class, so it does not make sense to keep it in Item anymore. This is a leftover from the days where Durable did not exist.
the count parameter is useless since Item ctor should now only be used for constructing item _types_, not actual items. All item creations for inventories etc, should go through the ItemFactory.
