To my understanding in the 
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaces_in_bundled_extensions RFC it was 
agreed *not* to use the PHP namespace and instead create appropriate 
top-level namespaces.

The new random implementation in PHP 8.2 is already "relying" on that 
RFC: Everything is sitting in Random\* and that namespace is now 
effectively reserved for it.

There was also this proposal (that did not yet go anywhere) to introduce 
the iterable\* top-level namespace:
