* keep the current semantics, that using a namespaced or qualified function name, (including a function name given as string, which is implicitly fully qualified), doesn’t fall back to the global scope, — even when a previous use of the same function name did trigger the fall back, see:https://3v4l.org/mnVWO (Independently of any mechanism introduced to avoid to repeatedly trigger the function autoloader.)

I could just about live with that example changing so that the fallback was cached, but I definitely don't think an explicit call like \foo\strlen('x') should become an implicit alias for \strlen('x'), which is apparently the current proposal. I really like the majority of this proposal, but right now would vote against it based on that. Regards, -- Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
