I may be asking this question out of ignorance, but here goes:

What is the difference between the following snippets?

// global.php
use \foo\bar\*;

$a = new A();
$b = new B();

// namespaced.php
namespace \foo\bar;

$a = new A();
$b = new B();

I don't understand why in the namespaced example no one seems to have a 
problem with new A() meaning new \foo\bar\A(), but we can't use the * 
wildcard to do the same thing?
