Description

Add the ability to access configurations loaded by a package with scoped naming.
For example, assuming the package mypackage, I would be able to access configs defined using mergeConfigFrom(__DIR__ . '/../config.php', 'mypackage') with config('mypackage::some-config').

This is already available for the following resources:

• Blade: componentNamespace('Components', 'nightshade') is accessible using <x-nightshade::calendar />.
• Language files: loadTranslationsFrom('./lang', 'courier') is accessible using trans('courier::messages.welcome').
• Routes: Route::name('courier::')->group(...) is accessible using routes('courier::welcome').
• Views: loadViewsFrom('./resources/views', 'courier') is accessible using view('courier::dashboard').

Steps To Reproduce

Described above

The config is merged with key 'mypackage' by the package maintainer in a service provider and will start with that name as the first key. So you can do `config('mypackage.some-config') . why change that behaviour?

@henzeb I am familiar with the current ability to use a dot (.) to access the configurations.

Also, I don't want to change the existing functionally, instead, I want to have the ability to use :: to access the configurations.
In the same way I do when accessing routes, views, lang, etc.

[henzeb]

ok, but why do you want that ability? what does it add to the framework? is it just "::" instead of "." or does it do something different?

It is the developer experience of knowing that I am accessing a scoped configuration file, located in an external package or module.
