Return type self is not an internal type while code generation

[namlier]

Is it right behavior that TypeGenerator does not think self type is an internal type?
Because of that my code generation causes wrong return type in resulting file.
public function foo(): self
turns on
public function foo(): \self
It thinks self is a class.
Zend\Code\Generator\TypeGenerator:36
private static $internalPhpTypes = ['void', 'int', 'float', 'string', 'bool', 'array', 'callable', 'iterable'];

@mastiuhin-olexandr self is an alias for "this class". Passing self to the TypeGenerator is incorrect, as self has no meaning without its surrounding context.

I'd rather say that it should be rejected completely, and an exception should be thrown.
