Bug #80224 [Opn]: namespaced import alias inconsistent

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80224&edit=1 ID: 80224 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: xigal18570 at jarilusua dot com Summary: namespaced import alias inconsistent Status: Open Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: linux PHP Version: 8.0.0rc1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: > use\Foo\Bar3; // valid While this is valid, it's actually a namespace reference, not a use declaration. I think the correct action here is to forbid the use of a leading \ in use declarations, which should never have been allowed. This will need a deprecation first though, so it's not actionable for PHP 8.0.
