The RFC says: "Group use statements makes it easier to identify that multiple imported entities are from the same module." IMHO that's too subjective. What "is hard" with the current state of affairs? Btw, here's a CON you can add to the RFC (and, btw., it doesn't contain any): - Prevents searching sources literally for used namespaces Another observation thing from my side: with proper tooling I almost can't remember when I wrote the statements by hand; they usually a) get automatically managed b) thus alphabetically sorted and c) folded away in general. What is the real benefit of using groups it and who's the group benefiting from that change? Maybe you can expand on that in the RFC. sincerely, - Markus
