Hello internals,

I=E2=80=99d like to propose adding=C2= =A0with=C2=A0as a full al= ias for the namespace-related=C2=A0use=C2=A0keyword in PHP. This is a purely syntactic improvement a= imed at:

  1. Clarifying semantics:=C2=A0with=C2=A0bet= ter conveys "reference/borrow" intent (e.g.,=C2=A0with Foo\Bar=C2=A0vs.=C2=A0use Foo\Bar).
  2. Reducing beginner confus= ion:=C2=A0use=C2= =A0currently serves dual roles (namespaces and closure captures), which can= be misleading.
  3. Aligning with modern languages: Similar keywords exist in D= art/Kotlin (with/import).

Key points:

  • Zero-cost: Lexer-level alias, no = runtime impact.
  • Fully backward compatible:=C2= =A0use=C2=A0remains perma= nently supported.

Example:

<=
div style=3D"margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px rgb(224,224,224);font-style:=
inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-=

rit;font-feature-settings:inherit;vertical-align:baseline;display:flex;back=
ground-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;ba=
ckground-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;h=
eight:2.5rem;white-space:unset;word-break:break-word">
php
=



// Current syntax  
use Vendor\Package\ClassName; =20
use function=
 Vendor\Package\functionName; =20

// Proposed syntax  
with Vendor\Package\ClassName; =20
with function Vendor\Package\functionName;

Question to the list:<= /p>

  • Does this i= mprovement warrant an RFC?
  • Are there objections to= the concept or keyword choice?

I=E2=80=99ll proceed with a formal RFC = if feedback is non-negative. Appreciate your thoughts!
