You would now have to go through all ten autoloaders before you can decide that no userspace class DateTime exists in any namespace, and thus the PHP internal class DateTime may be used.
Even one autoloader is bad enough to not even have to consider the case of ten autoloaders. Remember, autoloader is filesystem access. Filesystem access on each class mention is a disaster.
like a fool when you're tired of coming up with arguments. You very well know I meant "import". Reply to the suggestion in a respectful manner, or give it a miss.
I'm afraid I still do not understand what did you mean. Could you explain in more detail?
