Although these are described in the manual as separate types of import, th=
ey are actually the same: they alias a prefix used to rewrite class names w=
hen you mention them=2E

If you have a class "One\Two\Test" and a class "One\Two", then "use One\Tw=
o" will allow you to access them as "Two\Test" and "Two", respectively=2E h=
ttps://3v4l=2Eorg/nQ7pB

Similarly, if you alias a prefix with "use Foo as Bar", then "new Bar\Test=
" will refer to class "Foo\Test", and "new Bar" will refer to class "Foo"=
=2E https://3v4l=2Eorg/2r6WN

So "use class" wouldn't make sense, because that's not actually what happe=
ns=2E
