PHPStan changed the way that a constant type is detected

Bug report

After last release 0.12.96, PHPStan stopped to auto-detect constant type when get from a variable.

Code snippet that reproduces the problem

https://phpstan.org/r/58f32d4f-e85d-4f43-9b09-89d6e7235c39

Expected output

I am not sure if it is detected incorrectly.

Note that, if add PHPDoc on the constant no error is reported.

 /**
  * @var string
  */
 public const SS = 'ss';

But is strange because when accessed directly from the class it passes, but not from a variable.

Did PHPStan help you today? Did it make you happy in any way?

Yes! PHPStan is awesome. I love you.

Thank you for your kind words! :)

This change is intended as part of a bugfix for this issue: #2959

Yeah, to use the PHPDoc is the correct approach. That way PHPStan will also enforce the same type in child classes as part of bleeding edge. There are new rules around that in 0.12.95.
