Again, this is not true. Names of classes and functions are not resolved =
the same way. Consider:

    namespace Some\Namespace;
    use function Other\func;
    print func::class;

This prints "Some\Namespace\func", but calling func() in the same =
context will refer either to Other\func() or \func(), depending on which =
is defined -- never to Some\Namespace\func().=
