this is a more tame version of my initial attempt to firehose item NBT. It marginalizes the use of item NBT to the places where it's needed on interfaces, leaving the internals clean to operate on whatever they like.
This is similar in nature to 646fea5a4ecbbdf3f0cbfc590d874dedc1a7bfc0.
On a side note: Migrating this way is a pain in the ass due to lack of types. What the heck is int supposed to mean?!?!?!?! At least if we wanted to go _back_ to magic numbers, it would be easy to locate everything with an Enchantment typehint...
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.
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.
