Again, this is not true. Names of classes and functions are not resolved the same way. Consider:
namespace Some\Namespace;
use function Other\func;
print func::class;
This prints "Some\Namespace\func", but calling func() in the same context will refer
either to Other\func() or \func(), depending on which is defined -- never to Some\Namespace\func().
