Unlike Java and others we can't easily know all available choices.
Consider
use (or use function) Foo\*;
use (or use function) Bar\*;
foo();
Will this be a global foo, Foo\foo or Bar\bar? This becomes more funny
with the fact that PHP allows includes at runtime
use (or use function) Foo\*;
use (or use function) Bar\*;
foo(); // only \foo() exists
include 'Foo\foo.php';
foo(); // Foo\foo() now exists, too
