Hi, internals, I'm proposing a improvement to namespace importing. when using 'use' statement to import many classes, we have to duplicate many times even we are importing from the same namespace. I propose a new syntax to import classes\functions\constant in a single statement. here is the example: <?php // reduce use GlobalNamespace\SubSpace\ThirdSpace\Class1; use GlobalNamespace\SubSpace\ThirdSpace\Class2; use GlobalNamespace\SubSpace\ThirdSpace\ForthSpace\Class3; // to from GlobalNamespace\SubSpace\ThirdSace use Class1, Class2 as Alias2, ForthSpace\Class3 as Alias3; ?> The above code should be self-explained. More info could be found at the RFC page and the patch. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespace-importing-with-from PATCH : https://github.com/reeze/php-src/compare/rfc-from-use Any Opinion, suggestion, improvement will be much appreciated.
